The NA Training is devoted to equipping radio astronomers and engineers with the skills which are essential to take full advantage of the present and future radio astronomical infrastructures by:

• offering a focussed set of schools and forums, where specialist observatory personnel discuss engineering developments and exchange best practises, where users present cutting-edge results from RadioNet infrastructures, and where experienced astronomers train the next generation in the basics and finer points of using radio astronomy infrastructures,
• providing a dedicated support programme for visitors to the European ALMA Regional Centre nodes in order to strengthen and enlarge the user base,
• encouraging mobility so that the contacts between the different groups: astronomers, engineers and industry will be reinforced (WP3 Description).

This activity is divided into:

• WP3.1 Astronomical/Engineering Schools - Leader A. Richards
• WP3.2 Mobility for ALMA Regional Centre Users (MARCUs) - Leader M. Zwaan
• WP3.3 Short Training Missions (STM) - Leader R. Keller

The overall leader of WP3 is Anita Richards.

All tasks have separated calls for financial support for:

• Training events - more about the call here.
• European ARC - MARCUs
• Short Term Mission - more about the call here.
