Objective
The mission of WG 4 is to establish and maintain a platform for sharing and transfer of knowledge gained in nuclear and radiation safety within the members of EuCAS Network for its improvement. Therefore, the main objective of WG 4 is to contribute to an efficient knowledge transfer in nuclear and radiation safety by means of education and trainings on regulatory competencies.
Specifically, the objectives of WG 4 are:
- Provide a platform for regional and international exchange an opportunity for mutual support and coordination of regional initiatives in this area.
- Identify and address specific regional needs in education and training in radiation and nuclear safety as well as in regulatory competencies.
