| Zusammenfassung |
| The four year "Coupling of Atmospheric Layers (CAL)" EU FP5 Research
Training Network project studied unanswered questions related to transient
luminous events (sprites, jets and elves) in the upper atmosphere. Consisting
of ten scientific work-packages CAL also included intensive training and
outreach programmes for the young scientists hired. Educational activities
were based on the following elements: national PhD programmes, activities at
CAL and other meetings, a dedicated summer school, and two European sprite
observational campaigns. The young scientists were strongly involved in the
latter and, as an example, the "EuroSprite2005" observational campaign is
presented in detail. Some of the young scientists participated in the
instrument set-up, others in the campaign logistics, some coordinated the
observations, and others gathered the results to build a catalogue. During
the four-month duration of this campaign, all of them took turns in operating
the system and making their own night observations. The ongoing campaign
activities were constantly advertised and communicated via an Internet blog.
In summary the campaign required all the CAL young scientists to embark on
experimental work, to develop their organisational skills, and to enhance
their ability to communicate their activities. The campaign was a unique
opportunity to train and strengthen skills that will be an asset to their
future careers and, overall, was most successful. |
