Training aspects

Pre-doctoral and post-doctoral young researchers will receive specific training in key techniques for the high-tech industrial areas. They will also get a broader and more thorough training in the key cold quantum gases technologies than what could be provided by a single lab or institute. The young reserchers will work under the supervision of the local senior scientist and in close collaboration with the whole respective team of each node.They will greatly benefit from the international atmosphere and the expertise of modern physics management. In this context, they will also receive training with respect to their ability to work in teams towards a challenging project. In order to enhance and stimulate the learning process the Network will organize Annual Workshops where the young researchers are expected to present and defend their scientific results. Moreover, the networking of the young researchers and the knowledge exchange at both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral level will be intesified by organizing specialized meetings for young researchers. Young researchers of the Network, in turn, will be requested to organize these meetings, known as the Young Atom Optician Meetings (YAO). Few young researchers annualy selected to be in charge for these meetings will be responsible for the planning and organization. The YAO will attract young researchers from a large physics community.
