Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, | Abstract: | The nuclear industry is currently facing a significant demand for well-trained personnel. Due to the high market demand, it is essential to raise awareness among new target groups, including high school pupils and (pre-service) STEM teachers, about the potential and opportunities of pursuing a nuclear career. With this in mind, a new strategic partnership has been established under the Erasmus+ project 'BRAVER' (Blended and Remote teaching Activities supported by Virtual rEality for Radiation sciences). Within this 2-year project, international staff, and students from 7 partners of the CHERNE (Cooperation of Higher Education on Radiological and Nuclear Engineering) network collaborate with industry, regulatory and research institutes in developing educational virtual tools (VR and virtual online escape rooms) for nuclear sciences and engineering. The project aims to develop blended international training programs that incorporate technical, generic, and networking skills for both students and professors. This initiative can serve as a model for other scientific fields, extending its benefits to students and educators across different disciplines. | Notes: | Schreurs, S (corresponding author), Univ Hasselt, Fac Engn Technol Nucl Technol, Diepenbeek, Belgium.; Schreurs, S (corresponding author), Univ Hasselt, Sch Educ Studies, Diepenbeek, Belgium. sonja.schreurs@uhasselt.be |
