Education and Training within the SINE2020 networking activities has the mission of enhancing the preparation of new generations of users of European neutron and muon facilities. There will be two calls for proposals over the next four years, until the end of SINE2020.

The present call is dedicated especially to the organization of Introductory Schools. The Introductory Schools will be based on the existing network of neutron schools organized on a regular basis throughout Europe, but new proposals are specifically encouraged. The proposals will be evaluated by a committee of experts (Selection Panel). The coordination committee will encourage the use of the e-learning platform and the involvement of local Universities. Calls and other details will soon be available at sine2020.eu.
