Junior Research Network and Summer Training Schools: a self-evaluation

The COST Action TU1002 provided the opportunity for creating a sub-group of young researchers, who formed a new team known as Junior Research Network (JRN). The JNR was invited to participate in two Summer Training Schools (STSs). The first took place in Naples (IT) during the summer of 2012, while the second was held in the Eurocity of Valença (PT) /Tui (ES) during the summer of 2013. This chapter provides an overall evaluation of the two STSs. It outlines their goals, activities and achievements, and provides an overview of the self-evaluation of the JRN carried out together with a presentation of its results. The chapter also includes acknowledgments of professors and people who contributed to the realisation of the STSs.
