title = "Lessons learned from implementing training and mobility programmes within EC H2020 projects EURAD and PREDIS",
abstract = "Both EURAD and PREDIS are addressing research, strategic studies and knowledge management (KM) in the field of radioactive waste management (RWM). PREDIS is focusing on radioactive waste predisposal, while EURAD on overall aspects of RWM with s special focus on geological disposal of radioactive waste. Both are partially financially supported by the European Commission. Since inception, the KM activites are essential to ensure efficient knowledge transfer among the community. The projects contribute training amd mobility aspects, also including the {\textquoteleft}School of Radioactive Waste Management{\textquoteright}, while using available research infrastructures and providing a platform for knowledge exchange. Besides training courses, both projects regularly organize topical webinars with worldwide participant and facilitate exchange of students and experts between institutes. A number of initiatives are taken to give visibility to students in the R&D programmes, thus supporting their networking and possibilities for mentoring.",

note = "Score=3 Funding Information: These projects have received funding from: •The European Union{\textquoteright}s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant agreement No. 847593 (EURAD). Funding Information: Training and mobility programmes represent an essential part of EURAD/PREDIS knowledge management activities and the overall Euratom programme supported by the European Commission and Member States. Based on up-to-date experience in EURAD/PREDIS cooperation and with respect to the large variety of already implemented training courses and mobility actions and feedback received, it is obvious that all KM activities described in this paper actively contribute to competence building in the field of RWM, both for pre-disposal and disposal, and improve practical skills of involved participants. Funding Information: EURAD (European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management, 2019-2024, Grant agreement No. 847593) and PREDIS (Pre-Disposal Management of Radioactive Waste project, 2020-2024, Grant agreement No. 945098) are partially funded by the European Commission and both address research, strategic studies and knowledge management (KM) on radioactive waste management (RWM). While PREDIS is aimed at improved techniques for handling low-and intermediate-level (L/ILW) radioactive waste during pre-disposal activities, EURAD is focused on holistic aspects of RWM, in particular on handling of high level radioactive waste and spent fuel and a corresponding geological disposal. Funding Information: Both EURAD and PREDIS are addressing research, strategic studies and knowledge management (KM) in the field of radioactive waste management (RWM). PREDIS is focusing on radioactive waste predisposal, while EURAD on overall aspects of RWM with s special focus on geological disposal of radioactive waste. Both are partially financially supported by the European Commission.
