  1. COLLABORATION BETWEEN HIGHER EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY AT ISIB Isabelle Gerardy , Caroline Licour , Jonathan Baré , Agnès Peeters , François Tondeur ISIB, Haute Ecole Spaak, Bruxelles, Belgium

  2. Introduction • Collaboration with industry important for: • Maintains the adequacy with professional’s needs • Organized in ISIB by 3 ways • Internship for students • Applied research projects • Development of specific learning modules for professionals in radiation protection

  3. Internship for student • Internship of 6 weeks for bachelor and one semester for master • Database for placement: contains companies in different fields: • Medical (manufacturer, hospital, …) • Radiation protection, radioecology • Research center • Engineering development office… • Master thesis • developed within industry • Subject linked to a real engineering problem • Also accessible to Erasmus students

  4. Interest for CHERNE partners • Industrial master thesis for Erasmus students • Direct way: Erasmus internship • ISIB just acts as a link between the company and the Cherne partner • Indirect way: the student works at ISIB on a real industrial problem in close connection with the company • ISIB deals with the industrial partner

  5. Two real cases • Two students of Unibo (Bologna) coming for the master thesis • Elisa Ceccolini (2008) • Subject: Measurement of dose around a HDR brachytherapy system with gafchromic EBT film • In collaboration with the St Jean hospital • Silvia Tolo (2012) • Subject: MCNPX modelling of the WENDI 2 neutron detector • In collaboration with IBA sa

  6. Applied research projects • Collaboration with a company in the framework of FIRST projects • Innovative applied research • 2 or 4 years projects • The grant of the Walloon region mainly covers the salary of the researcher • Benefit for the company: • a person working exclusively on a defined project • Possible commercial valorisation of the results • Benefit for ISIB: • Increase of the knowledge in certain fields • Limited possibility of new equipment

  7. Inclusion of CHERNE in applied research projects • Formation of the research fellow: • DONDES (Fast neutron spectrometry): at UPV and CVUT • MICOS (X-ray spectrometer) at UPV • Erasmus projects: • Silvia Tolo Related to the FREDONE project • Modelling of the neutron detector WENDI 2 • Shanna Eismar from FHAachen (2012) • Feasibility study of XRF in vivo measurement of iodine within the thyroïd gland • The results obtained lead to the submission of a First project , elected by the Walloon authorities

  8. Beyond Erasmus exchange • GiorgiaCinelli • Student in Bologna • Master thesis in ISIB, related to a research on radon risk mapping • Collaboration with the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control • PhD on natural radioactivity • 5 publications with ISIB on Radon

  9. Training of radiation protection experts • 120h program developed to fulfil the requirements of the FANC • In collaboration with IRE (for the French speaking part) • U Hasselt (XIOS) and SCK: same program in Dutch • Continuous contacts and exchanges with the companies involved in the nuclear and radiological field

  10. And for the future • Erasmus exchange principles will be drastically changed for the next year • Erasmus for all • creation of strategic partnerships • Focused on sectoral and cross-sectoral cooperation • Between different types of actors linked to the educational field • Wide range of different educational activities • Including social commitment, entrepreunarial spirit

  11. Erasmus for all • Different types of strategic partnerships • Large opening to partnership with different types of actors: • Industry: Electrabel- Tractebel, IRE, IBA sa, … • Research: SCK•CEN • Radioprotection and controls: FANC, Controlatom, BelV… • Hospitals: St Jean, Bordet…
