MC-PAD

MC-PAD: Marie Curie Particle Detectors
This multi-site network comprises nine academic participants, three associated industrial partners and two associated academic partners from nine European countries. It will provide extraordinary training opportunities to young researchers (physicists and engineers) in the field of radiation detectors. The proposed Training Network will play an essential role to form a new generation of excellent detector scientist which is required to conceive, design, build and exploit the next generation of experiments which may come into operation in the years 2012-2020.

CLOUD-TRAIN

CLOUD Initial Training Network

The aim of CLOUD-TRAIN is to establish a multi-site network of Early Stage Researchers (here predominantly PhD students) and Experienced Researchers at 10 partner institutions across Europe. The role of aerosol nucleation for atmospheric CCN levels, clouds and climate is investigated. The influence of various vapours and ions for aerosol nucleation, growth and cloud processes is studied to significantly improve our understanding of natural and anthropogenic climate forcing as well as feedback mechanisms. The project is a follow-up of CLOUD ITN.
