Joint innovative training and teaching/learning program in enhancing development and transfer knowledge of application of ionizing radiation in materials processing
Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Improving competences and quality of the learning offer is important factor affecting on level of education in every country. In Poland knowledge about radiation technology and possibility of using radiation is still insufficient. To answer for industry needs in terms of close cooperation between science and industry this type of action is necessary. Only with highly qualified, experienced and motivated personnel is success in performing cutting edge research possible. Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) educate Ph.D. students and researchers, and to contribute to the development and application of scientific knowledge at an international level. However, enhancing qualification of research personnel is necessary to obtain the same quality of education like other European countries in the some field of radiation processing. It is urgent for us to collaborate with other international universities and institutions to elaborate efficient training and teaching/learning program to enhance knowledge development and transfer between different institutions among students , staffs and researchers in the field of ionizing radiation in materials processing. The project “joint innovative training and teaching/learning program in enhancing development and transfer knowledge of application of ionizing radiation in materials processing” will fill up this gap. 7 parters from 6 different EU countries (Poland, France, Italy, Lithuanian, Romania and Turkey ) involve in this project. The objects of this project are : to enhance teaching education level in chemistry and material science in higher education sector through intensive lectures delivered by world recognized scientist active in such research field ; to increase students competence in labor markets through the visit and training in industrial radiation facilities for material process; strength international cooperation by this joint project ; to improve Universities/ research institution education and research level and improve their reputation in the world through cooperation and dissemination knowledge on the internet as well as workshop and seminar. Participants of this project will involve 18 professors, 10 senior scientists, 10 young staffs, 85 students, 10 technicians . There are total 164 mobilities in the project. For the project implementation, following activities will be supported and organized: The new course module "APPLICATIONS OF IONIZING RADIATION IN MATERIALS PROCESSING " will be developed, and it will be tested among students by twice intensive learning programme held in Italy, Poland, France and Lithuanian. 18 world recognized Professors and scientists working in this research field will deliver lectures. It will cover basic information concerning ionization irradiation EB and gamma sources, dosimetry, till to state of art technologies: such as radiation technology application in polymer, semiconductor, radiation methods and applications in nanotechnology. There are 90 hours lectures and 12 hours practices (lab or industrial irradiation facility) in one intensive learning programme which lasts 19 days. Radiation dosimetry and Instrumental techniques for product analysis in irradiated polymer materials will be organized , and 6 hours scientific visit to industrial irradiation facilities, including practice of radiation dosimetry applied in industrial irradiation facility will be included in this intensive learning programme. ECTS credits will be counted for students. Certificates will be issued to the students involving in practicing activity. This project will offer the students the visit and training in industrial radiation facilities for material process to obtain real-on site and practical knowledge out of classroom, it provide equal opportunity for different gender and disable person, it is also a life learning project to encourage research and academic staffs to participate in the project. It will provide e-learning for students through project deliver web-based teaching materials . One text book is expected to be written and published (paper based, also e-book format) in English as intellectual output. The elaborated new course module : "application of ionizing radiation in materials process " and text book may be adopted in the future as regular teaching programme in the classroom and e-learning material, respectively. The knowledge gained during the project will help participants (mainly learners) to improve their impacts and influence of ionizing radiation on materials, new methods and techniques applied in producing materials with desired properties in the long term.
