EVALION SRO

Their core work

Evalion is a Czech SME specializing in nuclear education, training technologies, and e-learning content development. They design digital teaching tools — including virtual laboratories, MOOCs, gamified courses, and VR-based learning environments — for the nuclear and radiochemistry sectors. Beyond education, they contribute to nuclear safety research, particularly around gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR) technologies and research reactor optimization. Their work bridges the gap between complex nuclear science and accessible, modern training delivery.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Evalion entered H2020 through nuclear education and digital training (MEET-CINCH, 2017), building e-courses and flipped classroom content for radiochemistry. By 2020, they expanded in two directions: deepening their educational technology toolkit (adding VR, gamification, and MOOCs in A-CINCH) while branching into harder nuclear engineering topics like GFR safety and research reactor optimization. This signals a shift from pure training content toward becoming a broader nuclear sector service provider.

Evalion is expanding from educational content development into nuclear engineering and reactor safety domains, suggesting they are building technical depth to complement their training expertise.

How they like to work

Evalion operates exclusively as a participant, never coordinating projects, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing defined deliverables within larger consortia. With 32 unique partners across 18 countries from just 4 projects, they work in broad European consortia rather than tight bilateral arrangements. This suggests they are a reliable, low-friction partner comfortable integrating into large multi-national teams.

Despite only 4 projects, Evalion has built a notably wide network of 32 partners across 18 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of nuclear research coordination actions. Their reach spans most of the EU's nuclear research community.

What sets them apart

Evalion occupies a distinctive niche as an SME that combines nuclear domain knowledge with modern educational technology — VR, gamification, and digital learning platforms. This is a rare combination; most nuclear education is delivered by universities or large research institutes, not agile private companies. For any consortium needing a training, dissemination, or e-learning work package in the nuclear sector, Evalion brings both the technical understanding and the digital delivery capability.

Highlights from their portfolio

• A-CINCH
  Represents the most technologically ambitious education project, integrating VR, gamification, and virtual labs into nuclear chemistry training.
• SafeG
  Largest single grant (EUR 209,000) and a departure into hard nuclear engineering — GFR safety, advanced materials, and thermal-hydraulics for the ALLEGRO reactor.
• TOURR
  Addresses the strategically important topic of European research reactor sustainability and medical radioisotope supply chains.
