QUARTZ training activities aim at helping the Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to achieve the best scientific and technological preparation in IAR and the quantum mechanical framework, international relationships with leading research groups in Europe and outside Europe, transversal skills useful to disseminate their own research work at the highest level possible, and to get a deep understanding of the strategic priority of "Open Science". The QUARTZ training activities aim at complementing the doctoral schools offered by the organisations.
The training programme of QUARTZ can be organized in three main areas: training through research (i.e., supervision, secondments and workshops), training activities, and transversal skill training.
