13. 13 Asian Network for Education in Nuclear Technology (ANENT)

14. What is ANENT The Asian Network for Education in Nuclear Technology (ANENT) is a regional partnership, supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for cooperation in capacity building, human resource development and knowledge management in nuclear science and technology. ANENT strives to promote, manage and preserve nuclear knowledge to ensure the continued availability of qualified human resources in the region for the sustainability of nuclear technology and to prepare newcomer countries to commence nuclear power programs. 14

15. ANENT Collaborating Member 19 Member Countries in Asia and the Pacific region 15

16. 16 What is ANENT Management Framework

17. Main Activities E-learning platform development ANENT Web Portal ANENT Regional LMS National or organizational LMS Further utilization of the E-learning platform Education Material Development Enhance NKM systems Liaison and Communication 17

18. Obstacles Obstacles in the region: NKM system is not well established Aging problem (experts and equipments) Conventional method of education and training (contents experts vs. IT) E-material in nuclear subjects are very limited. Language barrier Poor public understanding on nuclear application. 18

46. 46 IAEA Technical report “Status and Trends in Nuclear Education” “…….Networking (national and international) can also be considered as a good practice. It has several beneficial effects. It facilitates sharing of information and good practices between the members; it provides an enabling environment to complement each-other’s possible lack of expertise in certain fields (not all expertise is available at every place), it makes possible that the students get the information from the best professors or the best expert of the special subject.”
