Towards a European nuclear competence area
The "Towards a European Nuclear Competence Area" program, identified as HORIZON-EURATOM-2021-NRT-01-13, aimed to enhance and consolidate nuclear competencies across Europe. This initiative supported a comprehensive pan-European Education and Training (E&T) program, addressing human resource needs and promoting nuclear careers, including non-power applications of ionising radiation technologies. The program fostered a coherent vocational training framework and facilitated mobility for young researchers to strengthen the EU's nuclear sector.
