Dissemination and training actions will help to enhance and to structure future generations of users. NMI3 support training activities such as workshops, schools and training courses. These activities should clearly aim to broaden the user base or make the use of facilities more effective. Coordinator: Philip King Technical Support: Ana Claver - NMI3 FOURTH CALL for PROPOSALS UNDER FP7 NOW CLOSED This call for proposals is the fourth call under FP7 and relates to applications covering the period from Dec 2010 – June 2011. If you are planning to organize activities that relate to spreading the use of neutron scattering or muon spectroscopy you are welcomed to submit your proposal in the next call. The next Call for Proposals, for events to be held from June 2011 to January 2012, will be announced in January 2011. Funding for proposals is now limited within Framework Programme 7. Therefore we are only supporting Schools in this call, and not Workshops as well. Schools are events which are aimed at providing training to researchers new to a particular technique or science area, and this will need to be the main aim of the activities supported in this call. If you are planning a School which involves neutron scattering or muon spectroscopy in a significant way, then you are welcome to submit a proposal. To submit your proposal use the Online Proposal Submission System: Online proposal system is open from 02/06/2010 until 12/07/2010

Applying for funds - Conditions Open calls for proposals for training activities will be made every six months. Every proposal round has a predefined deadline. Proposals will be evaluated by an appropriate panel of specialists. The proposition of the panel is presented to the NMI3 board for approval. Acceptance of financial support from Networking Activities implies acceptance of the obligation to provide reports and annex documents as required by the rules of NMI3. Who can apply for support from NMI3? Who can receive support from NMI3? What language do you have to use? How to claim the funds from NMI3? Find the answer to this questions in the Guidelines See the list of training activities financed through NMI3 under FP7 in the Finances activities section See the list of training activities financed through NMI3 under FP6 in the Education and Training Section.

ACTIVITY	SCOPE	WHAT CAN BE SUPPORTED	WHO CAN APPLY	SIZE OF GRANTS
Schools To be carried out by NMI3, a school has to be clearly related to the goals of Networking Activities.	The education of the participants in the techniques of neutron scattering and/or muon spectroscopy has to occupy a central position within the programme. The language should preferentially be English. Schools in other languages may be supported if properly motivated. NMI3 does not support regular international or national meetings (unless it is clear that the purpose involves training activities). Language should be English. You should not apply for general meeting costs.	Schools open to non-national participation. The funding can be used to cover expenses for non-national European participants (only will support students and postdocs attending the schools). You should not apply for general workshop costs.	The organizer of the school, who will administer the grant	2.000-10.000 Euro No more than 50% of the cost will be covered by NMI3
Foresight Studies Ideas for Foresight Studies, to be carry out by NMI3, are welcome	Foresight studies will be coordinated directly by NMI3. The study must address the future evolution (sources, techniques and methods, scientific case) of neutron scattering and/or muon spectroscopy.	Expenses for participants plus general costs	NMI3 networking coordinator	10.000 - 30.000 Euro NMI3 will cover whole or part of the cost
