Description

ECVET is based on concepts and processes, which are used in a systematic way to establish a common and user-friendly language for transparency, transfer and recognition of learning outcomes in Europe. The European Parliament and the Council have adopted ECVET in 2009 and since then a number of projects dealing with implementation of ECVET have started. Eleven projects between 2008-2011 and eight between 2011-2014 respectively have been running, which are funded through the centralized actions of Livelong Learning Programme. A series of other projects, funded by national programmes or other European funding schemes not directly interested in credit transfer are also on-going. Nuclear and Radiochemistry Training in the ECVET European system is going to be further discussed, with examples. A series of achievements are going to be highlighted, as well as the limitations and opportunities in the present context in nuclear field.
