Training schools (TS) for the PhD students and Postdocs (YRI) are organized every second year. Besides providing the timeliest hand-on knowledge in all scientific fields of the Action, training schools are a great opportunity for YRI to start networking together and with the instructors. The venues are selected to promote intermingling and communication, e.g. through on-site accommodation and meals or social events.
The YRI are further mobilized to present in a poster session, and the best posters are acknowledged by an award.
