Abstract
Initially, it was foreseen to organize practical trainings related to the apparatus and technologies developed within the technical workpackages of CHANCE. However, due to the lasting covid crisis, which impeded traveling around Europe for a long period of time, it was decided within the CHANCE Executive Board to organize the training in the form of webinars. Using the webinar format, it was envisaged to reach a broader audience, outside of CHANCE partners, to inform the wider radioactive waste community about the technologies and progress made within the CHANCE project.
The webinar content was standardised, and each webinar consisted of three presentations:
1. General introduction to the technique, basic scientific/technological premises
2. Developments within CHANCE (including lessons learned – if available – and potential future technological developments)
3. Presentation by an end user (who has already used the technique, or has indicated in the past the potential benefits of the technique for problems/issues encountered)
Each presentation was followed by a Q&A session. The audience could also raise questions or comments in the chat box.
The webinars were announced via different distribution channels:
• CHANCE website
• EURAD School of Radioactive Waste Management
• PREDIS
• Social media accounts (LinkedIn/Twitter)
The platform used was BigMarker, which is the same platform used by the SCK CEN Academy within the frame of the EURAD EJP. Participants needed to register beforehand through the CHANCE website.
Each webinar lasted for 2-3 hours.
The webinars were recorded in order to make them available for future training (e.g. through Youtube channel) and the presentations are available as pdfs.
A total of 3 webinars were given, related to the 3 technical work packages of CHANCE. Through the webinars, we were able to reach a relatively wide audience (wider compared to practical training session), while it also appeared that more non-CHANCE partners attended the webinar than CHANCE partners (details on following pages).
