AB: ACCENT (2004-08) is a Network of Excellence in Atmospheric Composition Change in Framework Programme VI of the European Union (www.accent-network.org). The task "Training and Education" aims at preparing the next generation of atmospheric scientists (up to 3 years after completion of a Ph.D.) for the future of scientific endeavour in the field. Educational events, courses, and training workshops will be offered both on subjects in the field of atmospheric composition change and on essential skills (e.g., communication, networking, interdisciplinarity), and will be paralleled by leadership sessions and Science Caf‚s to increase the expertise to a common level across Europe (including Accession countries). Integration of female scientists, and (young) scientists from newly associated and emerging countries will be realized through specific schemes (e.g., mentoring, fellowships). Training and Education in ACCENT also aims at triggering the use of New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT). Examples will be presented on the varied use of NICT to disseminate educational material on atmospheric composition change, both at the undergraduate and at the postgraduate level, and to teachers.
