SMiRT Training Session

The SMiRT Training is composed of 5 modules covering 5 domains of structural mechanics in the nuclear industry (see details down below).  For each domain, the courses are given by world-renowned experts participating to the SMiRT conference. Each course covers the history of the domain, highlight the main challenges, and give an overview of present and future developments. Q/A sessions with the experts are included. The objective is to give all attendees a basic understanding of the 5 covered domains.  

Attendees: Mechanical and civil engineers or researchers with work related to the nuclear industry.

Prerequisite: Knowledge in mechanical or civil analyses for the nuclear industry

Duration: 5 modules of 1.5 hours each (7.5h total)

Schedule: One module on each day of the SMiRT conference (forecast program down below)

Language: English (courses and training material)

Certification: The SMiRT training is Qualiopi certified (official training certificate in France). Pre and post training surveys will be organized (technical and satisfaction). A nominative training certificate will be awarded to all participants.

Registration: The registration to the SMiRT Training includes a free registration to the SMiRT conference: register for the SMiRT Training, not for the SMiRT conference on the registration page.
