Objectives
The training course is held within the framework of the EC FP6 Integrated Project FUNMIG (Fundamental Processes of Radionuclide Migration, www.funmig.com). It is organised by ENVIROS in collaboration with the ITC School.
The main objective of the course is to provide contextual training on the Fundamentals of Radionuclide Migration to the younger generations currently involved in the research areas of FUNMIG but which lack the overall picture of the nuclear waste management context. In addition the course can be used to provide the required training to new members of the radioactive waste management community.
Who should attend ?
Young professionals as well as scientists entering the research areas of FUNMIG. Implementers, regulators, scientists and students from outside the project are most welcome.

Under the auspices of the IAEA, nationally developed Underground Research Facilities (URFs) and associated laboratories are being offered for use by other nations. The URFs and laboratories form a “Network of Centres of Excellence” for training in and development of waste disposal technologies. If your organisation is from a participating country in the IAEA training network scheme you may be able to request financial support from the IAEA for courses run as part of the Network scheme.
