The network-specific courses and workshops are mandatory for all ESRs and will be held roughly on six months regular basis and they will be scheduled close to the internal review meetings of the programme. (WS – WorkShop, OC – Online Course, TS – Transferrable Skills)

Upcoming training events:

2022, June 27-July 1, Florence – ART Turbomachinery summer school: http://art.dief.unifi.it Each PhD has to attend the Summer school during the 3 years of his/her project but this may happen in different periods, according to his/her commitment and secondments periods. The Summer School will be repeated also in 2023 and 2024, normally in the final week of June. Registration and information: email to esr@inspire-etn.eu or antonio.andreini@unifi.it

2022, July 6-8, Berlin – Pressure gain combustion technology overview short course: This three day training activity will provide a concise overview of the state of the art for pressure gain combustion. It has the objective to quickly familiarize the trainees with the multi-disciplinary topics contained within PGC. This focused overview early in the programme, will improve communication between the WPs and the ESRs. TUB will host and organize the event with a contribution from ONERA, UC and UP in the lectures program. Some time will be spent demonstrating the RDC and discussing unique aspects of this high frequency, unsteady combustion device. All ESRs should plan to attend this training event. Here are the details for registration and other recommendations PGC Short Course Info Sheet

2022, from 17th October, to 4th December, Fundamentals of Turbulent Combustion online course by Cerfacs: this online course describes the fundamental elements required to understand modern tools for combustion simulation. It covers the first six chapters of the textbook Theoretical and numerical combustion by Poinsot and Veynante. The deadline for registration is 15 days before the starting date of each training https://cerfacs.fr/fundamentals-of-turbulent-combustion/

Previous training events:

2022, from 25th April, to 22th May, Fundamentals of Thermo-Acoustic Instabilities online course: Coupling between acoustic waves and flames has become a central issue in the development of many modern combustion systems. This course presents the theoretical background needed to tackle such problems. Details for registration available here: https://cerfacs.fr/fundamentals-of-thermo-acoustic-instabilities/. By attending the course, ESRs can obtain a certificate of participation and success in the final exam. The following session will take place from 17th October, to 4th December, 2022.

Workshop: Gender in recruitment

Unlike the rest of the network-specific courses and workshops provided for ESRs, the target group for this workshop are the principal investigators. Consistent with the topic of social responsibility representing an essential educational element of INSPIRE and with the life-long learning culture, all principal investigators of the network participated in the workshop. Aim has been to raise awareness of gender issues in recruitment and the workshop has been held during the kick-off meeting and before the recruitment process commencement. This is complementary to the anti-bias actions already established by the human resources of each beneficiary.
