Summary report of the courses arranged including synthesis of the course material for the ECCSEL public website

Specific training, in the form of short courses, will be offered to all the prospective users accessing the facilities through TA, on the basis of the facility specificity. The courses will be periodically organized (at least once a year) and will aim to widen the number of users of the facilities, to engage industry stakeholders, to attract the research community and to optimize use of the infrastructures. Focus will be given to the experimental techniques, methods and instrumentation related to the facilities. These courses will be promoted through the ECCSEL website and according to the communication plan and principles foreseen in WP6. The following course are foreseen during the course of this project: 1. ECCSEL Training Course on research infrastructure for CO2 Capture R&D (organized by NTNU), with a focus on experimental methods, instrumentation and model development covering: solvent, sorbent and membrane development for CO2 capture. 2. ECCSEL Training Course-CO2 Storage on the research infrastructure for CO2 storage R&D (be organized by OGS), focusing on capacity estimation techniques and experimental methods, models development and validation, storage integrity, site monitoring and fields lab testing issues. 3. ECCSEL Training course on monitoring large scale CCS pilot R&D facilities (organized by CIUDEN) and will be mainly focused on the scientific and technical experience developed in the Hontomin site, including geophysical methods (micro-seismic grid or geo-electrical measurements in wells), deep sampling and their links with safe operation. Practical problems related to the use of the facility and specific H&S issues will also be addressed. The technical knowledge transferred to the user will constitute an important added value provided by the ECCSEL community. Through this training, the TA mechanism will definitely become more effective. This deliverable is a summary report of the courses arranged including provision of a synthesis of the course material for the ECCSEL public website
