Following declarations and policies on phasing out nuclear power plants, nuclear sciences and disciplines are facing
– decreasing interest and a reduced number of students
– no successors for retiring professors
– discontinuing nuclear-related courses and closing faculties
The “European Nuclear Engineering Network” project:
– establishes the basis for conserving nuclear knowledge and expertise
– creates a European Higher Education Area for nuclear disciplines
– facilitates the implementation of the Bologna declaration in the nuclear disciplines
In order to ensure the continuity of the achievements and results of the ENEN project, “the European Nuclear Higher Education Area” of the project was formalised by creating “the European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN) Association” under the French law of 1901 on 22 September 2003.
