EURO-LABS is a network of 33 research and academic institutions from 18 countries (25 beneficiaries and 8 associated partners) from European and non-EU countries, involving 47 Research Infrastructures (RI) in the Nuclear Physics, Accelerators and Detectors for high energy physics pillars. The project brings together, for the first time, the three research communities of nuclear physics, accelerator, and detector technologies for high energy physics, in a pioneering super-community of sub-atomic scientists. Within it, EURO-LABS ensures diversity and actively supports researchers and research groups to use its RIs.

Its main goal is to provide effective access to a network of 47 Research Infrastructures (including 3 RIs with Virtual Access) to conduct curiosity-based research, addressing fundamental questions and technological challenges and advancing projects with broad societal impact, fostering knowledge sharing between scientific fields and enhancing Europe’s potential for successfully facing future challenges.

To fulfill this goal, the community recognizes that it needs to pay attention to improve the efficiency of use of RIs and to increase its human and institutional basis. It was decided, therefore, to organize a system of training activities, at various levels, starting with annual Basic Training schools and Advanced Training schools, organized by members of the project.

We would like to announce that the Basic training school of 2026 BTS26, will take place from 11 (arrivals) to 23 (departures) May 2026, and will be organized at IFIN-HH, Bucharest-Magurele, Romania.

We encourage students from the Masters, Ph.D. and early-year post-doctoral levels to apply. For the registration process, applicants will need to submit a letter describing their research activity so far, as well as a recommendation letter from their supervisor. There will be 24 students (trainees) selected.

The trainees’ participation will be fully financed by EURO-LABS and will include: travel with economy class within Europe, accommodation, and subsistence support. Trainers will be local and international.
