Getting Involved
We hope that you will get involved in many of EURON's activities and
encourage others to do so as well.
Attend Meetings
Attending meetings is an excellent way of making contacts and friends
within the community. These contacts are normally interesting, and may
also be useful!
EURON Schools are aimed at PhD students so are particularly good
for people wishing to deepen an already existing interest.

Contribute to the Initiatives
Your knowledge and resources are valuable -- please consider sharing
them with others by adding items to the databases, contributing your opinions to the
roadmap and benchmarking
initiatives, and your information to this website.
Especially, please contribute to the
Video Collection for Students asap.

Use the Resources
Make use of the resources that EURON offers. Much of the information
is freely available to all, but for other resources you have to be a
EURON member. Apply for the grants, use the databases and the
contacts, apply for the awards, use the mailing lists.
