AB: This contribution focuses on opportunities for education and training activities in the new Network of Excellence (NoE) in Atmospheric Composition Change (ACCENT) of the European Union FP6 (2004-2008). ACCENT (see www.accent-network.org) aims at promoting a common European strategy for research on atmospheric composition sustainability, to develop and maintain durable means of communication and collaboration within the European scientific community, to facilitate this research and to optimise the interactions with policy-makers and the general public. These overall goals of ACCENT will be pursued through specific objectives which can be classified as (i) joint research programmes, (ii) tasks for integration and (iii) outreach tasks. Here, the strategies for education and training in ACCENT are outlined, and specific objectives and activities of the Task Education and Training for the first 18 months are presented. The aim of this contribution is to exchange and seek possibilities for international co-operation on education and training in atmospheric composition change.
