Knowledge Management

Objectives

The overarching goal is to establish an EURAD-2 Knowledge Management (KM) programme which is intended to become sustainable over 10 to 20 or more years. The programme not only focusses on different aspect in the building and maintaining of competences in the field but complementing those actions which are already present on national and international (IAEA, NEA) level. 

The overall objectives of the KM programme are to overcome the competence generation gap by making sure resources are effectively aligned to maintain a sufficient, competent and qualified radioactive waste management workforce. Furthermore, the KM programme will support Member States at different levels of progress in implementing the waste directive (2011/70/Euratom) within the realms of EURAD-2 by boosting knowledge transfer from more advanced to less advanced programmes. Another general objective is effective implementation of the KM programme by establishing an inclusive collaborative framework that feeds and keeps up to date the EURAD Roadmap, enabling users to access existing information and knowledge and active work or future plans related to all phases of a radioactive waste management programme.
