Sign up for a course on “Core modelling for transients” (3 ECTS). Registrations will open on October 13th, 2025. 

This course deals with the modelling of nuclear reactors in transient conditions, focusing on the modelling of neutron transport, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, fuel thermos-mechanics, and their interdependencies.

The pedagogical format of the course is based on a hybrid flipped classroom. In this format, you need to complete some preparatory work (representing about 40 hours of work) before attending interactive classes organized during 5 consecutive days (representing about 40 hours of work). Those classes are given in a hybrid set-up, with participants following the classes either onsite or remotely on the web. Research in engineering education demonstrated that such a teaching format leads to better learning outcomes and increases the interactions between the students and the teachers. 

Online self-paced learning phase taking place between December 12, 2025, and January 9th, 2026. Synchronous activities offered between January 12th, 2026, and January 16th, 2026 (those activities can be attended online or onsite at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden).
