Initial and refresher courses required for work with radiation sources in industry, medicine and research are also provided.

EUREM Course - Centre for Energy Efficiency

The international educational program “European Energy Manager - EUREM” is intended for training energy managers who are responsible for energy infrastructure and technological processes in companies. As part of the education, participants are trained to prepare an analysis of the energy situation in the company, technical and organizational preparation, management of energy efficiency projects and their appropriate presentation to the company’s management; prepare an assessment and ensure targeted savings and ensure continuous improvements in the company.

In Slovenia, it has been implemented by the IJS Centre for Energy Efficiency since 2008, usually once a year. More information at EUREM.

Science Day

ICJT offers a Science Day at their Information Centre, which is intended for primary and secondary school students. It includes one of six possible lectures, a guided tour of the nuclear technology exhibition and a workshop on radioactivity. You can also opt for a self-contained workshop on energy.

For smaller groups (up to 15 visitors), a tour of the TRIGA research reactor is possible.

A tour of the accelerator is possible for smaller groups of high school and university students.
