Abstract:
Since 2003, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has organized Nuclear Science training courses at the Institute for Transuranium Elements (JRC-ITU) in Karlsruhe, Germany, on a regular basis. The Commission sponsored participants from the Candidate Countries, potential Candidate Countries (West Balkans) and New Member States within its enlargement and integration policy to strengthen activities between the old, new and potential EU member states. The courses range from basic nuclear science and radiation protection with Nuclides.net (www.nuclides.net), a new, multi-media software product from JRC-ITU, to illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive materials and measurements of radioactivity in the environment.
In line with actively promoting EU integration in regional resource centres, the next training course will be organized jointly by the JRC and the Jožef Stefan Institute and held at the Nuclear Training Centre, Ljubljana Slovenija, in Sept. 2005. In addition to covering the course materials, we will describe the experience obtained in these training courses.
