Abstract:
ENEA, the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment is a public research institution operating in the fields of energy, the environment and new technologies to support competitiveness and sustainable development. Education and training activities are esplicitly stated in the ENEA mission. The Radiation Protection Institute (IRP) of ENEA has been taking care of training in the field of radiation protection and dosimetry of ionising radiation since several years. The main fields in which IRP provides education and training derive from the specific traditional areas of research and duties of radiation protection of the Institute within ENEA. They are:
1) Methods and techniques for external and internal dosimetry of ionising radiation (scholarships and training stages for student and scientists at its facilities);
2) Dissemination of European and International methodologies and approaches used in the radiation protection field with the aim of harmonization of knowledge within Europe and within the country itself (in relation to the long-time collaborations with national and international organisations aimed to the development of methodologies as ISO, EURADOS, etc.);
3) Training of qualified experts, in compliance with the national legislation and within an international framework aimed (for its own and national needs) to the harmonisation of skills, competence and knowledge of this professional role throughout Europe (ERPC courses, ENETRAP project).
