3. Rosatom – MEPhI collaboration for foreign students training 10

11 International cooperation in nuclear education Training & Retraining of foreign students and specialists in the field of nuclear engineering and hi-tech. Cooperation with nuclear educational networks (MEPhI has agreement with ENEN and ANENT). Cooperation with the foreign nuclear universities for development common master of research programs, postgraduate training, curricula analysis and enhanced (MEPhI has agreement with more than 20 universities from USA and Europe). Participation at the IAEA activity and representation of the Russian Federation at the World Nuclear University. NRNU MEPhI – IEAE Practical Arrangements.

12 The Russian localization of the IAEA Cyber Learning Platform CLP4NET installed in the NPNU MEPhI to support national and international educational and training activities

Establish a new network for Nuclear Education (StarNet); Cooperation with regional networks; Develop together with other countries curricula, training programs and training materials on nuclear power and non-power applications; Develop the selected courses using the IAEA CLP4NET or other suitable platform; Build public awareness of the benefits of nuclear technology and its applications; Support the IAEA in implementation of the selected courses in Member States. Cooperation with foreign nuclear universities and training organizations for development of common master and bachelor programs, postgraduate training, curricula analysis and enhanced. System of continuous personnel training in the field of nuclear power applications based on the international standards. 4. Possible activities under the IAEA umbrella 13
