Description du projet
Former une nouvelle génération d’experts nucléaires
L’expertise en matière de nucléaire et de radiochimie est nécessaire pour maintenir les opérations nucléaires européennes. Elle est également importante dans les processus de décontamination et de démantèlement, de gestion des déchets et de surveillance environnementale. En outre, il existe plusieurs domaines non énergétiques qui utilisent le nucléaire et la radiochimie et nécessitent une telle expertise, s’étendant notamment de la radiopharmaceutique aux diagnostics radiologiques et à la thérapie, en passant par la datation en géologie et en archéologie. Le projet A‑CINCH, financé par l’UE, entend atténuer la baisse d’intérêt pour l’étude des sujets nucléaires. Il se concentrera sur les étudiants et les enseignants des écoles secondaires jusqu’aux universités, ainsi que sur les utilisateurs finaux de ce domaine, à l’aide d’un concept d’apprentissage par le jeu incluant un laboratoire virtuel de radiochimie, un MOOC sur le nucléaire et la radiochimie, des machines RoboLabs, des kits pédagogiques destinés aux lycéens, etc.
Objectif
Expertise in nuclear and radiochemistry (NRC) is of strategic relevance in the nuclear energy sector and in many vital applications. The need for radiochemistry expertise will even increase as the focus shifts from safe nuclear power plant operation to decontamination and decommissioning, waste management and environmental monitoring. The non-energy fields of NRC applications are even much broader ranging from life sciences – radiopharmaceuticals, radiological diagnostics and therapy – through dating in geology and archaeology, (nuclear) forensics and safeguards operations, to radiation protection and radioecology.
The A-CINCH project primarily addresses the loss of the young generation's interest for nuclear knowledge by focusing on secondary / high school students and teachers and involving them by the “Learn through Play” concept. This will be achieved by bringing advanced educational techniques such as state-of the art 3D virtual reality NRC laboratory, Massive Open Online Courses, RoboLab distance operated robotic experiments, Interactive Screen Experiments, NucWik database of teaching materials, or Flipped Classroom, into the NRC education. All the new and existing tools wrapped-up around the A-CINCH HUB – a user-friendly and easy-to-navigate single point of access – will contribute increasing the number of students and trainees in the field of nuclear and radiochemistry. Nuclear awareness will be further increased by the High School Teaching Package, Summer Schools for high school students, Teach the Teacher package and many others. Additionally, successful educational and training tools from previous projects will be continued and further developed.
Networking is an important part of the project, facilitated by having ENEN as one of the partners and by having structural links with other Euratom projects, the EuChemS, the NRC-Network as well as by additional links with other end users and stakeholders including the high schools.
