Abstract
The motivation, history and status of coordination of education and training in nuclear- and radiochemistry in Europe are reviewed. The achievements of the Euratom FP7 project “Cooperation In education in Nuclear CHemistry (CINCH)” are described. Attention is paid to the results of the survey of universities teaching nuclear chemistry and their respective curricula evaluation, to the plan to introduce the EuroMaster in nuclear- and radiochemistry quality label recognized and guaranteed by the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS), and to CINCH NucWik—an interactive database proposed and implemented as an open structure in the form of a “Wiki”.
