7 Main actions according to TORs Recommend future framework for nuclear E&T and knowledge management at the European level Develop a plan to implement this framework Main results achieved Report Nuclear Education and Training - Key Elements of a Sustainable European Strategy Report Current and Future Uses of Nuclear Infrastructure in Europe ENEN data base on E&T offers Implementation plan in co-operation with ENEF Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

8 Current Status E&T Challenges for the Next Decade Key Approaches Identifying Knowledge, Skills Profiles and Gaps Education and Training Programmes Infrastructures International Cooperation Good Practices Recommendations Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

9 Significant progress in the past decade to off-set the demise in nuclear education and training of the 1980s and 1990s in EU countries National and international networks for co-operation in research and nuclear education have played an important role in that regard Employer-driven collaborations and networks involving universities, industry and further nuclear stakeholders are extending to encompass education, training and provision of skills in a wider context. Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

10 Need for new human resources for nuclear renaissance fast development of middle management capacities respond to increasing international dimension Make efficient use of new information technologies Identify the qualifications required and the gaps to learning outcomes of existing E&T programmes Highly qualified trainers and professors: a bottleneck? How to build a common background of knowledge and culture for nuclear professionals working for different stakeholders? Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

11 Achieve better understanding of the spectrum of knowledge and skills profiles relevant for a sustainable growth of the nuclear industry Provide high-quality h analyses of knowledge and skills gaps at a European level based on robust scenarios and recent information from EU Member States and the most concerned stakeholders... Good national practice: COGENTs (UK) systematic ti approach to a quality-assured skills gap analysis. Promising initiative: European Nuclear Human Resources Observatory as a vehicle for analyses at a European level. Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

12 Produce and regularly update a quality-assured data base on the short-, medium- and long-term HR needs: evaluate existing information (e.g. existing national and sectoral surveys) critically review data to ensure consistency with European strategies t and likely medium- and long-term developments of the global nuclear sector. Identify gaps and deficiencies in the European nuclear E&T infrastructure and recommend remedial actions and optimizations. Play an active role in the development of a European scheme of nuclear qualifications and mutual recognitions. Regularly communicate relevant HR data to the Member States relevant governmental, academic and private organizations. Take an active part in the communication of nuclear HR issues and their relevance to the public. Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

13 Adapt academic programmes to changing needs Strengthen the employer s roles for E & T of graduates Establish European standards for nuclear E & T Implement processes to learn from good practices... Good national practices: o o numerous national initiatives with stakeholder support for and involvement in academic programmes proficiency passport developed by NSAN (UK) Promising European initiatives: o European Nuclear Energy Leadership Academy (ENELA) o European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

14 ENELA will equip those working in and those working alongside the nuclear energy industry with the skills and expertise they will need to become future leaders and to ensure the further development of sustainable European nuclear energy solutions ENELA will put special focus on leadership recruitment and development of young graduates with management potential, high-potential professionals, executive managers and opinion formers Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

15 Leadership Cycle give high-potential professionals and senior managers with technical and non-technical backgrounds a broad understanding of the global nuclear energy sector. Prepares to take additional and greater responsibilities Management Programme for graduates and young professionals to their future agenda. full time one-year-programme for candidates from various backgrounds. intention to award a Masters in Nuclear Energy Management Conference Cycle for policy-makers and opinion formers to provide knowledge needed to make informed decisions Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

16 January 2010: Foundation of ENELA April 2010: Staff established in Munich October 2010: Memorandum of Understanding with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) for cooperation in the field of nuclear energy education in view of establishing a joint Masters in Nuclear Energy Management March 2011: Academy will launch training programmes with the ENELA Leadership Cycle Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

17 Provide - at the European level - information on and co-ordination between different E&T opportunities Use advanced information technology systematically for the purpose of nuclear education and training i... Good national practice: Nuclear Liaison s data base (UK) Promising European initiatives: o o JRC s Nucleonica Webportal ENEN s Database on European Course Offers Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

18 Make more systematic use of existing training reactors and other experimental facilities within nuclear education to provide students with a direct and personal nuclear experience. Ensure the availability of facilities when these get older and may need to be refurbished or replaced. Systematise IT infrastructure for E & T by visible (European) high- level products (e.g. simulation tools, e-learning platforms) Ensure transnational access to infrastructure for nuclear E & T... Good European practice: Support by the EURATOM Framework Programme for projects improving transnational access to facilities Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

19 European cooperation in nuclear education and training related to research and transcending that area Cooperation beyond European focusing on countries with larger programmes for new build and on emerging nuclear countries: preparing new modes of cooperation in a global environment achieving mutual understanding of each other s (safety) culture... Good European practice: Support by the EURATOM Framework Program for o E & T related to research projects o co-operation with non-european countries Promising initiative: ENEN s E&T cooperation with Asia and South Africa Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,

20 Joint action of key stakeholders to develop a common taxonomy of skills and competencies linked to jobs Optimise curricula of academic programmes with regard to the needs by 2020 and synergies between academic and non-academic programmes Extend private-public partnerships for guiding and expanding E&T programmes and dimproving i the training i of trainers Develop European framework for mutual recognition of learning outcomes and qualifications transcending academic education Support promising European initiatives with national input required Create a platform for transnational access to infrastructure Systematize E&T cooperation with non-european countries Cooperate more closely to further develop and maintain European data bases and IT platforms for E & T Schaefer, SNETP Education & Training Activities,
