The Department of Dosimetry and Ionizing Radiation of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of CTU in Prague (FJFI) prepared an intensive one-week course focused on the application of ionizing radiation for foreign participants of the ATHENS exchange project.

In the week from 14 to 18 March 2022, 16 trainees from all over Europe headed to the building on Břehová street each day to learn about application of ionising radiation in medicine, geology or the study of art monuments.

The course, worth  five academic credits, also includes practical exercises in laboratories and excursions. The course concludes with a presentation of the results of the participants' working groups.Picture

CTU in Prague is part of a group of European technical universities participating in the ATHENS (Advanced Technology Higher Education Network, Socrates) programme since 2003. Within the framework of the programme, the participating universities provide students in the upper years of the partner technical universities with week-long intensive courses in modern disciplines and technologies at the cutting-edge scientific level.

More information about the international ATHENS programme can be found on the CTU website. The programme also allows interested CTU students to go on a one-week course to one of the participating foreign universities.
