In partnership with national and international institutions and experts, the online learning modules provide users with an engaging and interactive learning experience in nuclear energy and radiation. There are plans to cooperate with other stakeholders to contribute to the academy.

“ENRA will play an important role in developing capacity and expertise in the sector and ensuring its sustainability. Using state-of-the-art features, ENRA is an innovative and engaging platform where students, academics or professionals can enroll and learn about the different topics of nuclear energy and radiation.
