Asian Nuclear Safety Network/CB and Education and Training Topical Groups

03 July 2014 19

03 July 2014

Efficiency Focus on thematic a area

of safety or security

Effectiveness Best targeted Participants,

with common issues i.e.

regional, regulators

History and Proven

working Methods

GNSSN the Idea of

Global Forum for Education and Training Under the GNSSN

A number of Steering Committees supporting education and training focus on different safety areas,

topical groups on education and training, active work of regional and knowledge networks have a

significant focus on education and training, regional training centers, training providers

20

How do they

communicate,

coordinate, learn from

each other, build on

each other’s

achievements?

GNSSN

provides a

platform for

sharing

information

Conclusions and possible future actions

22

1. To explore the working mechanisms of a potential GNSSN Global Forum on

Education and Training in order to:

1. Look at common issues, conclusions and strategic lines of action in education and

training arising from the work of the thematic safety groups and regional networks

under the GNSSN

2. Find synergies and overlaps amongst the different E&T groups , identifying efficient

ways of supporting each other for fulfilling the gaps i.e. between TSOs, Regulators,

Training centers and regional training providers

3. Advise the implementation and assessment of the strategies in Education and

Training

2. Underpinning the Global Forum it will continue the work of the topical groups and

steering committees on education and training
