Vicepresident of the European Nuclear Education Network
Robert Beekveldt
With a background in theoretical physics from the University of Amsterdam, I have been part of the NRG PALLAS team since 2020. Currently, I lead the Nuclear Academy as Program Manager.
The Nuclear Academy was founded in 2023 as a joint initiative between NRG PALLAS and TU Delft, and backed by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. The goal of the Academy is to build a self-sustaining ecosystem for nuclear education and training. This will ensure a skilled workforce capable of realizing the Netherlands’ nuclear ambitions.
We believe in European collaboration and sharing best practices to address the shared challenge of nuclear human capital.
Executive Director
Dr. Gabriel Lazaro Pavel
Nuclear Engineer, PhD.
Executive Director of the European Nuclear Education Network AISBL (Belgium).
The European Nuclear Education Network contributes to the society in the preservation and further development of the scientific expertise in the nuclear fields through nuclear Education and Training.
European Nuclear Education Network, through its partners, are currently providing education and training expertise on: radiation protection, nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, nuclear waste management and geological disposal, industrial and agricultural applications, and finally safe nuclear decommisssioning.
At our core, the ENEN Association aims for the for the safest and most advanced Nuclear science, knowledge and technology in the benefit of humankind.
The ENEN fosters the availability of nuclear knowledge and skills for European engineers and scientists, and promotes the fundamental and applied research.
The ENEN network is the result of the co-operation between universities, research organizations, technical support organizations, regulatory bodies and the nuclear industry. Together we work to preserve and develop the nuclear human capital capacity in Europe.
My believe is that together we can support nuclear science in bringing a greener future for Europe and for the rest of the World. Nuclear science should play its key role in providing a cleaner environment and this can be achieved through common effort made by scientists, researchers, educators. European Nuclear Education Network’s members, in collaboration with the rest of the international community will contribute to enable and foster our most gifted young people to participate in the solution of the worlds’ big challenges.
