APRENDE Project

DESCRIPTION of the Project

Enhancing Nuclear Data for Europe’s Future

APRENDE focuses on advancing nuclear reaction and decay data for cutting-edge applications in energy and beyond. Through collaboration and innovation, APRENDE supports innovation, safety and sustainability.

What is APRENDE?

APRENDE is an ambitious European initiative designed to address the critical demand for accurate and advanced nuclear reaction and decay data. These data are essential for modelling and simulation (M&S) tools crucial to both energy-related applications—including nuclear fission and fusion—as well as diverse non-energy fields such as healthcare, space exploration, and radiation protection.

With a clear focus on enhancing nuclear data precision and reliability, APRENDE aims to significantly upgrade the simulation capabilities relied upon by European stakeholders. The project specifically targets application areas deemed of highest priority within the European Union and its member states, ensuring direct benefits to critical sectors.

A key outcome of APRENDE is the development of a strategic roadmap. This roadmap will identify existing data gaps, propose advancements in capabilities, and incorporate cutting-edge technologies, ultimately reinforcing Europe’s global leadership in nuclear science and safety.

Funded through the European Union’s EURATOM programme, APRENDE is a collaborative effort involving 39 prominent European institutions. Coordinated by CIEMAT (Spain), this ambitious project will span 48 months, positioning Europe at the forefront of nuclear research and innovation.
