AiNT at forefront of training in the field of nuclear engineering

The Aachen Institute for Nuclear Training (AiNT) is a spin-off of the RWTH at Aachen University. AiNT offers a comprehensive range of training programmes designed to meet the specific education and advanced training needs of junior staff and experienced technicians in the field of nuclear engineering. The courses are delivered in cooperation with experts, who are qualified to present their practical experiences in the field of nuclear engineering. As the leading training institute in nuclear engineering in Germany, AiNT offers, in addition, a tailored in-house training course to meet the demands of each client. So, AiNT creates a specific programme, in which different lecturers are involved.

Furthermore, AiNT organizes conferences and workshops to bring together experts from science, industry and public authorities. Right now AiNT is preparing the 3rd International Conference on Nuclear Decommissioning, which will take place from the 28 to 30 October 2014, in Essen, Germany. On the 27 October 2014, a Pre-Conference Workshop for international guests will be organised, which will provide an “Introduction to German Decommissioning Tasks”. The conference programme is complemented by an exhibition. The conference will be simultaneously translated into English.

AiNT also works close together with the German Nuclear Society (KTG, DAtF). It recognises that working with other associations, thereby benefiting from the input of their different backgrounds, perspectives and expertise, is of mutual benefit to all concerned. To reach this aim it is necessary to carry out networking on an international level, to provide consulting and to carry out project work.
