GRE@T-PIONEeR is glad to announce a new course ready to start in November: “Core modelling for core design”
- From 7th November to 12th December 2025 – Online & in Gothenburg (Hybrid format)
The course aims to enable students to master the methods used for neutron transport modelling at the core level in steady-state conditions using Monte Carlo and deterministic methods.
The pedagogical format of the course is based on a hybrid flipped classroom. In this format, you need to complete some online self-paced preparatory work (representing about 40 hours of work) before attending interactive classes organized during 5 consecutive days (representing about 40 hours of work). Those classes are given in a hybrid set-up, with participants following the classes either onsite or remotely on the web. Research in engineering education demonstrated that flipping leads to higher student engagement, better achievement of the learning outcomes and increases the interactions between the students and the teachers.
The target audience for the course is:
MSc students, PhD students and Post-Doc students having some background knowledge in nuclear engineering.
Nuclear engineers.
Reactor physicists.
Nuclear safety analysts.
Research scientists in the above fields.
Registrations close on 28th September 2025.

GRE@T-PIONEeR is a project which developed specialised education and training resources for post-graduate students in reactor physics and safety.
The aim was to create an alliance aimed at teaching advanced and specialised reactor physics and nuclear reactor safety while making use of synergies between the different consortium members.
The project offers materials which allow students to fully comprehend topics related to the physics, modelling and safety of nuclear reactors, with an emphasis on nuclear cores. By following the courses and hands-on training sessions, the students are able to perform nuclear reactor safety simulations and understand all the calculations behind these simulations.
