Jean Monnet module “Radiation Safety: European-Ukrainian Approach” is launched

On 1 September 2023, the Department of Materials Science and New Technologies of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University will start implementing the Jean Monnet module “Radiation Safety: European-Ukrainian Approach” (101127143 – RISE-UP – ERASMUS-JMO-2023-HEI-TCH-RSCH), which will last for three academic years (2023-2026).

The aim of the project is to create a course that will allow students to develop a system of multidisciplinary knowledge about the nature of radioactive radiation, risk factors, biological effects, characteristics of ionising radiation, radiation hygiene and radiation protection in the context of the need to ensure the implementation of the state policy of Ukraine in the field of radiation safety, provided that the norms and legislative acts are harmonised with the requirements of the European Union.

Today, an orientation workshop was held with the project team: Volodymyr Kotsiubynskyi, Head of the Department of Materials Science and New Technologies at Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Volodymyr Boichuk, Professor of the Department of Physics and Teaching Methods at Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Nadiia Kobetska, Professor of the Department of Labour, Environmental and Agrarian Law at Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Liliia Turovska, Associate Professor of the Department of Medical Informatics, Medical and Biological Physics at Ivano-Frankivsk National University and Taras Paraschuk, researcher at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics, Stanisław Staszyc University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland, which agreed on the models and concepts of the course, defined the system for monitoring the quality of the course implementation, and outlined the further work plan for the project implementation.
