The NEPHEWS project offers two dedicated workshops designed to strengthen the knowledge and practical skills of early-career researchers in the use of large-scale research infrastructures.
The workshops provide participants with an introduction to advanced experimental techniques, opportunities to explore their applications in modern research, and practical guidance on planning experiments and preparing competitive proposals for access to large-scale research facilities.
In 2026/2027, the NEPHEWS project will organise two specialised workshops focusing on photon-based and neutron-based research methods.
