Short Secondments

Short secondments (< 3 months) at local institutions for specialized training or applications. For instance, these may provide training on special, scarce equipment (e. g. an expensive 3D scanner), practical experience on specific activity (e. g. geophysics application to archaeology or use of a particular visitor evaluation method in a museum) or involvement in an ongoing project of theirs, to test or improve on it the research developed by the fellow (e. g. participate in an archaeological excavation to test a new archaeological documentation methodology).

It is envisaged that most of these short secondments take place in the same country of the host, that will act as coordinator of a cluster of such collaborating institutions, which are not directly involved in CHIRON to keep the partnership size manageable but can provide specific, highly specialized contributions to training.
