1. AGENDAThe programme of the ESR Training Network Introduction Workshop is available on the INDICO page:https://indico.cern.ch/event/638333/.

This site has also all training material available publicly on-line. The material will remain available beyond theproject period.

The first week (5-9 March, 2018) focused on training:

- General safety risks awareness,- Collaborative working tools,- Computer safety,- Effective use of social media for professional purposes,- Open science platform presentation (Open Data Management and Zenodo),- Human resources and gender equality recommendations.

The second week (12-16 March 2018) served as secondment period. During this time, the ESRs were embeddedin those groups at CERN, who carry out the engineering and scientific research in the scope of the FCC Studytogether with the beneficiaries. This period is essential in order to set the common project goals for the comingthree years in the scope of the individual ESR research projects:

- Design, manufacturing and testing of high-performance superconducting wires and cables,- Advanced Helium cooling,- High-field superconducting magnet design, manufacturing and testing,- Radio frequency cavity design and manufacturing,- Innovative accelerator component manufacturing and fabrication techniques,- Surface treatment, chemistry and coating with magnetron sputtering.

The third week (19-23 March, 2018) was dedicated to the first part of the project management course.

The ESRs have been provided a quality feedback form, both for the safety training and for the entire period atCERN. The safety training survey is evaluated and taken into consideration by the CERN training service andthe ESR training + secondment period survey will be processed by the EASITrain project office in order towork towards an ever increasing training network quality.

The timetable is available in the Annex.

3. SECONDMENTSummary of each ESR on their activities during their training and secondment at CERN.

1.1. ESR 1ESR 1 (Dorothea Fonnesu) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the TE-CRG-CI groupat CERN. She has been accompanied and supervised by Torsten Koettig.

The introduction programme took place at CERN for three weeks, from March 5th to March 23rd. During thefirst week we were introduced to the CERN policies on computer and cyber-safety, diversity and gender equality,and the use of social media, to the CERN software tools, such as INDICO, SharePoint, Zenodo, and to the safetytrainings covering the major safety aspects for workers at CERN. The second week consisted of introductionsto the topics covered by the ESRs’ research projects and visits to the main CERN laboratories and facilities,during which also the technical and practical aspects related to these topics were explained. The covered topicswere: superconducting cables and wires, superconducting magnets and magnet assembly, magnet testing andsuperconducting links, He II cooling, chemicals, radio-frequency (RF) and superconducting RF cavities,manufacturing and fabrication techniques, and surface treatment, chemistry and coating with sputtering.Finally, the third and last week was entirely dedicated to a workshop on project management, with additionalinstructions on documents and open data management, as well as on the communication plans and actions,given on the last day.

The training was fruitful from several points of view: I could understand in better detail the CERN policies andtools, I could see in person the laboratories and their equipment, talk and ask questions directly to the expertsin loco. I found the safety trainings and the contents of the second week enlightening, from both the theoreticaland the practical sides, and I particularly enjoyed the hands-on sessions.

Also, I believe the ESRs team benefited from these introductory weeks at CERN from the group dynamics pointof you. We got to know each other and due to the dense schedule, we spent most of the time together for thewhole duration of the training. The team disclosed itself as well assorted, cooperation and exchange werespontaneous.

1.2. ESR 2ESR 2 (Johannes Gnilsen) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the TE-MSC-SCD groupat CERN. He has been accompanied and supervised by Simon Hopkins.

The EASITrain spring lectures took place from 5 to 23 March in Geneva. The training was split into lectures,hands-on workshops and interactive activities. It was very exciting to learn about the intended next-step particleaccelerator, the so-called future circular collider (FCC) and the issue that our EASITrain projects participateinto its studies and technology development. Other workshops in cryogenics like superfluidity and hazards ofhandling cryogenic liquids were very revealing as well. The classes were completed by courses about computersafety and software usage as well as an intense workshop on project management.

In our classes we learned to use different types of fire distinguishers in practice, visited lots of laboratories andgot into contact with the leading experts working at CERN. The workshop and the visit of the manufacturingand fabrication facilities was an outstanding experience for me. Beside the courses, visits of Geneva (especiallythe Geneva motor show) or social activities like dinner with my colleagues made the stay perfect.

As it was my first visit of CERN I experienced the dimension of the whole project and the efforts which arenecessary to push the limits of fundamental particle physics. I was impressed by the accumulation of excellentscientists and engineers in the institute and the huge performance of this truly international collaboration. I gotan imagination about the need for enormous communication requirements to bring all these specific fields ofscience and technology together. In the end I can conclude, that this three-weeks-stay was a tremendously greatexperience for me regarding all possible aspects.

1.3. ESR 3ESR 3 (Andrea Vitrano) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the ATS-DO group atCERN. He has been accompanied and supervised by Laurent Tavian.

During this programme, we have been through many training classes related to diverse topics. I learned howto use applications and software useful for my PhD: how to store experimental data safely through a scienceplatform, how to organize events and share scientific results through web applications. We improved ourcapability to face relational problems within a team, to organize an efficient work plan for our project and todeal with unexpected events throughout our path towards the objectives. We also learned how to operate safelyon web preventing the risk of cyber-attacks.

We actively took part in workshops related to radio frequency, cryogenics and surface treatments of cavities.We also have been instructed in how to recognize and avoid electrical, cryogens and radiation risks. Lastly, weexperienced a realistic onset of a fire in order to learn how to face it trying to avoid damages to expensivematerials.

I discovered many interesting technological details from several points of view about the upcoming upgrade ofthe LHC and the FCC. From the manufacturing process of superconducting wires to the facilities utilized totest magnets. However, the most astonishing experience was the production of superfluid helium and theexperiments related to its amazing properties.

1.4. ESR 4ESR 4 (Jakub Tkaczuk) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the ATS-DO group at CERN.He has been accompanied and supervised by Laurent Tavian.

The first period of the three-week-long stay at CERN was an introduction to the accelerator technology. Formyself, a person with first experiences in the domain, the first week was mostly a repetition of courses I attendedbefore and courses I had to attend when I was hired at my home institute, e.g. fire extinguisher course.

The second week, a secondment period presented more specific and technical issues where I could broaden theknowledge outside my domain – radiofrequency or manufacturing processes. It was very motivating experiencebut at the same time it was not the busiest period – a lot of free time could have been filled with scientific ortechnological interactions, especially when based in such a stimulating environment, as CERN. The third week,focused on project management, was necessary for every researcher. I find the overall experience very usefulfrom the networking point of view.

1.5. ESR 5ESR 5 (Linn Kretzschmar) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the ATS-DO group atCERN. She has been accompanied and supervised by Johannes Gutleber.

Coming from a background unrelated to physics or engineering, I was able to get a basic understanding ofsemiconductors and their functions, cryogenics and how CERN manufactures the required technologicalcomponents for the colliders. We were taken on guided tours through the various workshops and experiencedCERN scientists took their time to answer my many questions.

To me, the courses offered a great opportunity to get to know the other ESRs and develop a common identity inorder to facilitate the collaboration processes between us. The project management classes helpedstrengthening the team bonds and made many of us develop a much clearer vision of the crucial steps for asuccessful completion of our projects.

1.6. ESR 6Aisha Saba did not take part. The project management training will be repeated for her before the EASISchool1. The secondment period at CERN will take place in agreement with her project and doctoral thesis supervisor.The materials for the introductory safety trainings will be provided for self-study and a declaration of honourwill be asked to the student by the project office after the self-study period.

1.7. ESR 7Mattia Donato did not take part. The project management training will be repeated for her before theEASISchool 1.

Furthermore, a lot of knowledge was acquired regarding a variety of safety procedures: electrical, radiationand fire safety (including training with fire extinguishers); magnetic fields and radiofrequency hazards as wellas general handling procedures with chemical compounds.

Finally, a “beginner” project management skills were built during the “project management course”.

Participation in CERN “EASItrain training network introduction programme”. Participation on FCC weekwith presentation of the work.

During the “beginning” phase the first iteration of Personal Career Development Plan was produced.

During the training many academic and non-academic places have been visited starting from CERNinfrastructure and finishing with its surrounding area and Geneva.

The programme allowed to get familiar with astonishing CERN infrastructure, manufacturing facilities andlaboratories. During the stay in CERN many production facilities and scientific laboratories were shown,including:

- SC cable production facility- SC magnet production facility- SC cavity manufacturing facilities- CCC control room- Surface treatment and coating lab.- Cryogenic lab.

And other different production facilities at CERN.

Additionally, different laboratories and training centers were visited:

- CERN training center- LHC tunnel mockup with equipment failure simulations and other

Beside the academic activities different areas of The City of Geneva and its beautiful surrounding area werediscovered.

1.9. ESR 9ESR 9 (Jean-François Croteau) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the EN-MME-MAgroup at CERN. He has been accompanied and supervised by Said Atieh.

During the 3-week training program at CERN I attended sessions on a wide variety of topics, from technicalones on cryogenics, magnets, and superconductivity, to project management, where I learned how to organizemy project using Gantt charts and other project management tools, and more, such as training on differentsoftware, e.g. SharePoint. The importance of our project to the scientific community involved insuperconductivity and particle accelerator was often stressed, as well as the need to develop technologies fromwhich citizens of the European Union will benefit from.

During my stay, I was attending lectures, workshops and visits of CERN’s installations every day, morningsand afternoons. This allowed us to get familiar with the different technologies available at CERN for futuresecondments and to have a better understanding of the work that other early stage researchers will beundertaking for the next 3 years of the project. This last part was essential, since I will be collaborating with afew of my colleagues in the upcoming years.

Since I am working on a technical part of the EASITrain project, what I remember the most from my discoveriesis the visit of the manufacturing plant, where all the cavities are assembled and where CERN fabricates a varietyof components for different projects. The coating installation, where the superconducting layer is sputtered ontothe interior of cavities, was also an interesting laboratory to visit. I have also seen a lot more labs for the otherprojects involved in EASITrain, e.g. cryogenics lab and magnet factory. Overall, I learned a lot more about thephysical phenomena responsible for superconductivity in metals, the role of each component of a particleaccelerator, and had the opportunity to see experiments for ongoing research at CERN.

1.10. ESR 10ESR 10 (Vanessa Garcia) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the TE-VSC-SCC groupat CERN. She has been accompanied and supervised by Guillaume Rosaz.

I learned about the organization of a project, how is it structured by and how to schedule it. On the other hand,I learned about security of fires, chemist and internet (that is actually something we never think of and is veryimportant in the field). The cryogenics security and the behaviour of Helium at very low temperatures, differentsuperconducting materials and how the wires are made.

We made several visits to laboratories and mechanical workshops, which I consider was the most importantpart of the training. In this way is possible to understand how all the theories and ideas come true and howmany people is involved in the whole process. We also attend several lectures and organized our own projects.

I discovered how gigantic is the science world,, much bigger than I ever though it was. It involves so manypeople and so many fields that is amazing. Also, how CERN is an incredible institution to develop science andto contribute with. The LHC engineering and science involved is an international effort and this is how humanityshould work in every aspect. Together we can achieve great things and I hope FCC will be one of them!

1.11. ESR 11ESR 11 (Sofiya Savelyeva) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the ATS-DO group atCERN. She has been accompanied and supervised by Laurent Tavian.

Three weeks training at CERN in March 2018 was a perfect beginning for the research activity withinEASITrain framework. First of all, we could become familiar with the technical background of our projects andFCC study aspects. Beside the cryogenic system structure, I could learn the superconductors manufacturingmethods, cavity coating process, fundamentals of acceleration technology and other important subjects. At thesame time, several exciting visits to the CERN’s laboratories and lectures on the superconductivity, superfluidhelium, RF measurement techniques, manufacturing and fabrication techniques and others, were organised.It’s also worth mentioning, that we had an opportunity to see different advanced technologies at CERN, forexample titanium 3D printing or superconducting wire production, which is not easy to access anywhere else.

The training part included project management lectures. Previously, I didn’t have any experience in projectmanagement, but it is incredibly useful to lead my EASITrain project. I could make a preliminary Gantt chartfor my work, define the main milestones and make a structure of my further activity. Furthermore, the trainingon INDICO, Sharepoint and Zenodo were provided, which will help to use CERN’s platforms and share theresults in open access. Moreover, the mandatory safety courses had strong practical part, which is necessaryin any kind of work.

Finally, this training had a large social impact. I met other researchers and could build a network to exchangethe results within the project. I also had possibility to discuss my plans and work assignment with ESRs andsupervisors, whose research work is connected with my project.

1.12. ESR 12ESR 12 (Alice Moros) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the TE-MSC-SCD group atCERN. She has been accompanied and supervised by Simon Hopkins.

EASITrain Lectures Spring 2018: three full weeks of continuous growth, not only from the “cultural baggage”point of view but even from the personal one. Since the first day I’ve been introduced to the CERN world I’venever stopped being fascinated by everything around me. During the first week I understood a lot about theimportance of the safety rules awareness in various fields: that’s very useful for a proper behaviour and use ofinstrumentation at work but also for a “safe everyday life”. I really enjoyed learning, from both theoretical andpractical points of view, about the platforms used by CERN for the management of data, documents and events.Moreover, I went from being deeply involved in the very current theme of “gender equality” to being completelyenchanted in front of the huge human work which allows the LHC to be the extraordinary machine it actuallyis. My knowledge has been enriched by every single workshop and lecture, starting from dealing with Helium2 cooling to discovering the magnets world, the manufacturing and fabrication techniques up to the RadioFrequency and surface treatments technologies: each specific sector allowed me to understand better thedynamics behind the LHC operating principles; furthermore, by meeting the several researchers and operators,it was really interesting to find out some details about the working direction towards the High Luminosity-LHCachievement.

Totally new to me was the wide topic of Project Management, on which we spent four really educational days:objectives, milestones, project manager, project owner, stakeholder and the possible ways to structure a projectin terms of space and time are just few of the concepts this training transmitted to me. Especially during thosedays but, actually, during the whole three weeks, I learned a lot about the importance of listening people andthe power of a strong team collaboration while pursuing the work goals.

Concerning the word “collaboration”, I was astonished by the large number of institutes and companiesworking together on the CERN FCC realization. The future action plans regarding this great project have beenalready intensely analysed (despite the ongoing developments) and actually they are constantly studied, notonly focusing on the physics aspects but also on the economic and commercial ones. I can honestly say that I’mreally enthusiastic about the idea of contributing to the wide FCC working programme.

1.13. ESR 13ESR 13 (Mattia Ortino) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the TE-MSC-SCD group atCERN. He has been accompanied and supervised by Simon Hopkins.

What has been learned:

During the first spring training session of the program performed at CERN different subjects have been treated.In the first week I learned especially how to use some CERN- provided services or “specific cares” (Indico,SharePoint, the EASITrain intranet, cyber security, etc.) with hands-on lectures. The second week has beenfocused on technical topics: there I learned how, from the rough materials, superconductors are developed forlarge scale applications. Different type of cables winding, magnets assembly and cryogenic research together

with an overview of the unique thermo-mechanical treatments have been the core of my education path duringthis period. Finally, some management concepts (most of which based on a company-team-built format) havebeen assimilated.

What has been done:

During the first week, several “hands-on” works have been performed. During the taught classes, I had theopportunity to build by myself my own website through the SharePoint service, to schedule my plans via Indicoand to understand how to deal with the scientific-dissemination portal Zenodo.

During the second week, I visited instead different labs, having the opportunity to be in contact with the realongoing measurements on the newest magnet applications and cryogenic facilities, evaluating the different stepsthat a so large number of people are following in order to build together, in the end, the same facility. Also,some scheduling meetings with CERN experts have been performed during this week, in order to summarizewhat I individually do in Wien during my PhD on my topics.

The third week has been instead dedicated to a team-work. I enjoyed each lesson trying to develop my specifictopic under the new (for me) management point of view, working together with all the other ESRs. The mostimportant part of this part has been the interexchange of info within all the ESRs, knowing better what each ofus is doing in his own project.

What do I have seen/discovered:

First and last of all I met all of my colleagues in this journey. This was the great added value for me, since weare supposed to cooperate and share info about even different themes, but with the same leading motivation:being the future top-notch researcher in these fields. I found an overall high humility level, which is inagreement with the spirit of this program in my opinion: we still need to learn a lot. Concerning more practicalpoint of view, I finally discovered how the materials I work on at the basics are then developed for practicalapplications! I heard different times about those implementations but watching finally them live has been amagic moment. For me CERN was not a surprise (I worked there for 14 months) but still I needed to see theCryolab (never saw liquid helium-to-superfluid helium step live before) and all the great magnet facilities(B180, B927, SM18, etc.). I finally discovered how some tools are practically realized at the CERN workshop(high level machineries and titanium laser-3D printing systems) and last (but not least) how the cyber securityand the gender equality problems are treated in such a big organization.

1.14. ESR 14ESR 14 (Stewart Leith) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the TE-VSC-SCC group atCERN. He has been accompanied and supervised by Guillaume Rosaz.

What I have learned:

There are many elements within the particle accelerator community which do not appear hazardous to theoutside world but can affect your health in very adverse ways.

The program we are involved in is researching subjects at the forefront of scientific knowledge. Many ESR’shave the potential to create something never seen before.

Timeous completion of projects requires specific planning and project management

What I have done:

During the three weeks of training at CERN, we were presented with numerous training opportunities. Thefollowing are some aspects of what we did:

We attended safety training in the numerous areas of expertise at CERN. This included cryogenics, ionizingradiation and magnetic field safety

We attended sessions detailing the work covered in the various work areas at CERN. Of main concern to mewas the visit to the materials facility. This provided insight into the sputtering experiments carried out at CERNand some lessons learned I can apply to my work as well.

Project management was stressed during the final week of the EASITrain lectures at CERN. This providedinsight into how to properly identify our milestones as well as how to plan to achieve these in a timeous fashion,both individually and with our supervisors.

What I have seen/discovered:

CERN is a whole lot more than just particle physics experiments. There are many contributing parties to makethe “physics” happen.

1.15. ESR 15ESR 15 (Maxime Podeur) has provided the following summary of the secondment in the ATS-DO group atCERN. He has been accompanied and supervised by Laurent Tavian.

The courses took place at CERN during three weeks in March 2018 and aimed at providing useful trainings forall the ESRs, launching the overall project with different kick-off meetings and discovering the field of researchof the other early researchers involved in the project.

The first week of training was focusing on different topics. First, several lectures were intended to provide thenecessary knowledge to become familiar with various software used at CERN and which could later be used byeach ESR including SharePoint, INDICO and Zenodo. Then, other lectures on safety trainings with hands- onapplication detailed the necessary precaution that should be taken regarding fire, cryogenic, ionising radiation,electricity, radiofrequency and magnetic fields. On top of that, different talks addressed questions that willconcern each of the ESRs at their respective working place such as computer safety and cyber safety, theefficient use of social media and gender equality at work.

The second week was comprised mainly of lab visits and workshops with technical presentation of their on-going work. These visits really helped to understand what each of the researchers will be working on in thethree coming years as well as the challenges that CERN will have to face with the FCC project. Moreover, anetworking event was also planned with all the supervisors and ESRs, which enabled to discuss and exchangewith other supervisors and understand their priorities and points of view with respect to the project, which canunderstandably be different than the ones of the ESRs. Finally, interviews with all of the ESRs were alsoconducted to explain the respective projects and what each of us expected from this project.

Finally, the third week was dedicated to project management courses and on giving useful information on datamanagement. The project management courses were given in such a way that all the participants, even thosewho were not at all familiar with this material, could learn the basic concepts and apply them to their respectiveprojects.

On a more constructive note, based on my experience with project management courses, I would have taughtthe lecture slightly differently by putting more emphasis on what we could actually use in our projects. Hence,we could have spent more time on the Gantt chart with explanation on how to optimise them and learning aboutpredecessor, successors and apply them with hands-on exercises using Microsoft project for example. We couldalso have learned how to do a proper risk analysis as well as the basics about cost analysis with concreteexamples and how to construct a project dashboard with appropriate indicators for the project follow-up.

Also, since I am part of the cryogenics team, I would have appreciated to have, planned in the schedule, apresentation of the cryogenic plant activity at CERN. For the next meeting or EASISchool, it might be useful toconsider having parallel sessions with in-depth courses on different subjects researched in this project so thateveryone could learn in their respective field of research.

Finally, it would have been beneficial from my point of view to have more time with the supervisors to discussamong everyone involved in each work package in order to clearly define the respective objectives and workinginterfaces between the researchers working together.

To conclude, each of the ESRs came with different backgrounds and thus, each of us could pick usefulinformation from the presentation and trainings. Overall, these three weeks gave a good overview of the overallproject and provided the necessary trainings to have all the ESRs with the same basic knowledge. In addition,even though all the lectures taught might not be directly relevant for all of us in the coming years, they couldbecome particularly useful in the future following the project.

It was fine, I just don't think I needed this training, I'm not sure to use indico in any wider manner.
