GRE@T-PIONEeR: Teaching computational and experimental reactor physics using innovative pedagogical methods

• The GRE@T-PIONEeR project is a Horizon 2020 project financed from the 2019-2020 European Union’s Euratom research and training programme. The objective of the project is to preserve the competences and skills in computational and experimental reactor physics and nuclear safety. This is achieved by developing a set of advanced courses offered to PhD and Post-Doc students, nuclear professionals, and to MSc students (as specialisation courses). The courses are given as flipped classes in a hybrid learning environment, where students can decide to attend the interactive hands-on sessions either on-site or on the web. The paper presents the project set-up and the main concepts that are followed, both content-wise and pedagogy-wise. The main actions that have been undertaken during the first 11 months that the project has been running are also summarised. The project will lead to a state-of-the-art education using innovative pedagogical approaches having student learning as primary focus.
