About the conference
Since 1999 the ETRAP conferences intend to bring together training providers, academics, policy makers, radiation protection experts, regulators and authorities, and end-users. It offers the opportunity for learning, discussing and networking about the latest findings and developments in education and training in radiation protection.
This 7th edition focuses on the challenges and opportunities of educating and training in a virtual context.
This conference is organized by the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK CEN in cooperation with EUTERP, IRPA and IAEA.
Conference themes
The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted online teaching. During this online conference we will learn about the opportunities and the challenges of educating and training in a virtual setting.
Training online
Online teaching is the new normal nowadays. Trainers and trainees had to switch very quickly to a virtual class room. What is working, what is not? During this conference we are looking forward to sharing best practices.
New didactic methods and methodologies
What are the new didactic methods and methodologies to use in online training? Special attention will be given to the challenges with regard to practical exercises.
Legal requirements
Can online alternatives fulfill the legal requirements? Can competence building be established via online education and training and how to assess the learning outcomes?
Assessment online
Teaching online is one thing, assessing the knowledge delta and the obtained competences in another.
Attracting a new generation
Is there an augmented use of social media and what is organized online for professionals and students to attract a new generation? Which formats tease them? ETRAP 2021 will look forward to the best future approaches.
