Training Schools

COST Actions supports the ability to share knowledge and support collaboration also through Training Schools. Training Schools can be organised by a COST Action on related research topics and can provide dissemination opportunities for an Action's activities. Training Schools provide intensive training in emerging research topics within the laboratories and organisations involved in the COST Action. Participants are mainly, but not exclusively, young researchers involved in COST Actions.  

The aim of the Training Schools are to widening, broadening and sharing knowledge relevant to the Action's objectives through the delivery of intensive training on a new and emerging subject. They can offer familiarisation with unique equipment or expertise that are typically to the benefit of early stage researchers, although not exclusively. They are not intended to provide general training or education.
