The ECFA Training Panel was established in 2023, as part of the ECFA detector R&D roadmap process, in response to the recognized need to train and maintain a workforce in instrumentation for particle physics, targeting, with the highest priority, graduate students and Early Career Researchers (ECR).
The Panel operates under ECFA, in consultation with related communities and the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA).
Mandate
The role of this coordination panel is primarily to:
- Enhance the synergies between existing training programs and stimulate the creation of complementary ones where relevant, in particular multidisciplinary schools or academia-industry-joined training programs.
- Promote the creation of a European master’s degree program in HEP instrumentation.
- Coordinate the synergies between HEP instrumentation and accelerator training provision.
