On 15 November, the team of the project “RadiatIon Safety: European-Ukrainian APproach“ (101127143-RISE-UP-ERASMUS-JMO-2023-HEI-TCH-RSCH), which is being implemented with the support of the European Commission under the Jean Monnet Module, conducted a practical training session entitled “Radiation Safety: Legal Aspect” for students of students of the law program.

Nadiia Kobetska, Professor of the Department of Labour, Ecological, and Agrarian Law, Doctor of Science in Law, and Member of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine, shared valuable knowledge and experience on the legal aspects of nuclear and radiation safety with the students. Participants of the training acquired essential competences in understanding the content of legal regulations and the practical application of regulatory mechanisms in this field.

The training programme covered an analysis of the national legislation of EU countries on the use of nuclear energy and radiation safety, the evolution of the EU’s legislative framework in this area, and the licensing process for industrial and medical practices involving sources of ionising radiation, comparing the approaches in Ukraine and the European Union.

The training was an important step in developing the knowledge required for future activities in the field of radiation safety, which is crucial both for ensuring high safety standards in the EU and for integrating international experience in Ukraine.
