Project description
Bridging Ukraine’s nuclear education gap
Ukraine’s nuclear sector faces challenges in aligning education with industry needs. Outdated curricula and inadequate training hinder the country’s ability to ensure the safe operation of its nuclear installations. Additionally, there is a need to attract young talent and strengthen ties with European research entities. In this context, the EU-funded NURECAB project aims to integrate Ukraine’s research community into the European nuclear landscape. Through strategic objectives such as enhancing education quality and fostering international cooperation, it seeks to attract youth to nuclear engineering while bolstering communication channels. Divided into six work packages, NURECAB’s consortium of nine organisations, including Ukrainian universities and European nuclear networks, spearheads efforts to fortify Ukraine’s role in Euratom’s Research and Training Programme.
Objective
The NURECAB is 24 months CSA project related to the implementation of Euratom Work Programme 2023-2025 and focused on Education, training, capacity building and networking actions to strengthen Ukrainian and EU nuclear research.
The NURECAB ambition is to support further integration of UA nuclear research community into European research networking and Euratom Research and Training Programme with paying attention to improvement of Ukrainian education and training academic framework for human capacity building and ensuring safe operation of Ukrainian nuclear installations and inclusive collaboration in fission and fusion.
There are 6 specific objectives of the project:
- Quality improvement of nuclear education and training programme in Ukraine,
- Reducing the gap between nuclear educational and training programme of Ukraine and nuclear sector needs,
- Attracting young people to nuclear research and engineering,
- Strengthening cooperation between UA and EU research entities and academia to improve the participation of their researchers in Euratom Research and Training Programme,
- Enhancing UA Euratom NCP competences and communication tools,
- Raising awareness about Euratom programme among Ukrainian stakeholders.
The NURECAB project is divided on 6 Work Packages:
WP1 - NUCLEAR EDUCATION ENHANCEMENT: IDENTIFYING GAPS AND STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS,
WP2 - STAFF TRAINING FOR UA EURATOM STAKEHOLDERS,
WP3 - STRENGTHENING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION,
WP4 - CAPACITY BUILDING OF YOUTH,
WP5 - COMMUNICATION, DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION,
WP6 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION.
The NURECAB consortium is represented by 9 organization which are 5 Ukrainian nuclear education Universities, Ukrainian NPPs operator, Ukrainian nuclear society, the largest Ukrainian research center in the nuclear field that is a host of Euratom National Contact Point and European nuclear education network from Belgium.
