Today, ENEN is the response to the European need for highly educated people in the nuclear field by meeting these needs through cooperation between industry, research centers, technical support organizations international organizations and higher education institutions.

Abstract
The European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN) just celebrated in 2023 the first twenty years of existence. During this period, the ENEN network grew, reaching today more than ninety Members, Partners and Supporters. The mission of ENEN is the preservation and the further development of expertise in the nuclear fields by higher Education and Training. We target to reach this objective through the co-operation between universities, research organisations, regulatory bodies, the industry and any other organisations involved in the application of nuclear science and ionising radiation. Networking is an important method that we use to achieve success in our actions. Either if we speak about networking between people that aim at delivering specific education and training (E&T) actions (attraction to nuclear, higher education and training, workshops, webinars, summer/ winter schools, etc.) or networking between persons who need an upgrade in their professional career through these E&T actions, we strongly believe that collaboration is the answer for a safe usage of nuclear energy in Europe and beyond. Today, ENEN is the response to the European need for highly educated people in the nuclear field by meeting these needs through cooperation between industry, research centers, technical support organizations international organizations and higher education institutions. This paper summarizes the recent evolution of ENEN after twenty years of existence and the vision for the coming period, in the service of nuclear education in Europe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
