European Nuclear Skills Initiative – towards European Nuclear Skills Academy

The grant supports the establishment of a European Nuclear Skills Academy to unify and standardise curricula across all qualification levels in the nuclear sector, from vocational to academic. The project aims to address the skills shortage in the European nuclear ecosystem, launch targeted training for critical fields such as Small Modular Reactors and advanced reactors, and develop a framework for mutual recognition of skills between Member States. The Academy will bridge education, research, and industry, serve as an EU-wide initiative to promote mobility and talent retention, and inform future skills development strategies in the nuclear field.
