IAEA Regional Nuclear Education Networks IAEA Facilitated Networking in Nuclear Education: o cooperation on educational experience and resources o establishment of a forum to discuss policies and strategies for nuclear education and training o sharing best practices and lessons learned o Linking IAEA-initiated and sponsored networks in developing countries with existing networks in developed countries STAR-NET UNENE NTEC ENEN 10

IAEA IAEA Cyber-Learning Platform for Nuclear Education and Training (“CLP4NET” LMS) Integrating available high-quality resources for nuclear education and training, including those of the IAEA, to form an effective environment to support capacity building facilitating access to educational resources and teaching experience enabling a convenient, user friendly and flexible e-learning environment Supporting blended learning approaches that young professionals expect today Enabling networking and resource sharing Integrated Nuclear Education Data Base 11

IAEA Human Resource and Knowledge Development Networks (HRKD) Who: Universities, R&D Labs, Industry Stakeholders/Partners, Research Reactors, Government Ministries, International Organizations, What: Stakeholder engagement Identifying common needs and goals Sharing and collaboration Strengthening nuclear education Creating and developing opportunities

IAEA Nuclear Education Capability Assessment and Planning (ECAP) Framework Piloted in African Region (AFRA-NEST) National level approach Build and sustain synergies between education, R&D, and industry Nuclear energy and non-power applications Leverage networking and local resources 13

IAEA KM Assist Missions to Nuclear Universities Bachelor’s or Master’s level programmes Nuclear engineering Nuclear science University peer review team (1-2 weeks) Upon request by Member State (~25K Euro funding needed) TC support may be possible 1 year advance notice needed

IAEA 15 Initiative launched in Nov First programmes starting in Master level education in Nuclear Management for future leaders. Practical Arrangements already in place with KUSTAR, TEXAS & AM, University of Tokyo, MEPHI etc. INMA – Int’l Nuclear Management Academy Peer review benchmark assessments completed to 7 of 8 universities:  U of Tokyo, Japan etc.  MEPhI, Russia  Manchester, UK  Tsinghua, China  North-West, South Africa  TAMU, USA  Witts, South Africa  Aachen, Germany (planned) INMA International Nuclear Management Academy

IAEA Annual Networking Networks TM Annual meeting in Vienna Forum for regional networks to report and share project initiatives, common issues etc. Future directions: Advisory Group or Steering committee? Embedded training workshops? Joint projects (CLP4NET, e-learning resources etc.) Outreach initiatives Other? (let’s explore)
