Quality of the training activities
An online evaluation reveals the high quality of the events.
The attendess decribed the acitivities mailnly as excellent (42%) or very good! (41%) |
|
Attendee profiles
The attendee profiles cover the full spectrum of researchers, from postgraduate students to postdoctoral researchers, and academics. Most of the attendees were postgraduate students (38%) , academic staff (22%), and postdoctoral researchers (22%) coming from international destinations. Just a few undergraduates (4%) and PhD (4%) and very few representatives from industry and other background.(<4%) |
|
Field of work
Physics, (57%) Material Science (15%) and Chemistry (12%) are the common fields of work of the attendees. It is remarkable the percentage related to Life science (4%) and Engennering.
|
|
Expectation
Did the activity meet expectations? YES. It is clear!. The objectives of our training activities were well defined.
The majority (94%) answered this question in the affirmative. |
|
Relation with neutrons
The NMI3 training activities programme meets the target: "Training of new users, particularly those from ‘complementary techniques’, increases and spreads the user community. "
The percentage of attendees who had not used neutrons before is 33%. |
|
Previous knowledge
Most of the attendees to the training activities had a previous knowledge about neutrons. The NMI3 purpose is to increase students’ knowledge and skills. |

Number of users using the Access programme
In the first three reporting periods, a total of 4745.7 days have been supported through NMI3. This is over 95% of our total target of 4904 days. We intend to surpass this target in the next 18 months to give as much benefit to European users through the access programme as possible.
|
Countries
Statiscs of the unique users for period 3. The number of users, once normalised to the population, is well distributed. The countries with no national neutron sources, for example Denmark, have a higher relative number of users benefeting from the access programme.
|
|
Gender of the users
Three quarters of the users are male, which simply reflects the typical sex distribution in the scientific fields using the technique(s) and cannot be influenced by NMI3.
male 78% and 22% female |
|
Fields of work
Most users still nominally work in the area of physics. However more detailed examination shows that an increasing number of these are working in ‘non-traditional’ areas such as soft matter and biophysics.
|
|
Career stage
The programme has a high impact on training in the use of neutron and muon facilities with over a quarter of the users in undergraduate or postgraduate education. In total, almost half the users are under 35 and in the early stage of their career (undergraduate, postgraduate or postdoc).
