CNEN/IRD-BRAZIL

In the current century networks has played an important role in the dissemination of

experiences, information exchange and training of human resources for different area of

expertise.

The IAEA has encouraged the regions, through its member states, the creation of

educational networks to meet rapidly and efficiently the dissemination and exchange of

knowledge between professionals and students in the nuclear area.

The Latin American Network for Education in Nuclear Technology (LANENT) was

established to contribute to preserving, promoting and sharing nuclear knowledge as

well as fostering nuclear knowledge transfer in the Latin American region.

LANENT seeks to increase technical and scientific cooperation among its members

in so far as to promote the benefits of nuclear technology and foster the progress and

development of nuclear technology in areas such as education, health, the industry, the

government, the environment, the mining industry, among others.
