  4. MCnet objectives Training: • To train a large section of the user base in the physics and techniques of event generators • To train the next generation of event generator developers Through Research: • To develop the next generation of event generators intended for use throughout the lifetimes of the LHC and ILC experiments • To play a central role in the analysis of early LHC data and the discovery of new particles and interactions there • To extract the maximum potential from existing data to constrain the modeling of the data from the LHC and other future experiments.

  5. MCnet main activities • Four postdoc positions • Two joint studentships (Karlsruhe–Durham, Durham–UCL) • Annual School (YETI-like) • Two annual meetings (Januarys @ CERN, summer with school) • Annual programme of ‘residentships’: short term studentships held by experimental and theoretical users • Mechanism for enhanced user support • Networking • Travel and visitor money • Web site (www.montecarlonet.org) January 2007 Usually 3–4 months, maximum 6 months in 2008–2010

  6. MCnet in figures • Budget: 1.8Meuro • Annual schools: 4 (~50 students each) • Postdoc positions: 4 • Long-term studentships: 2 • Short-term studentships: 33 @ 4 months each • Visitor budget: 84keuro • Travel budget: 96keuro • Start date: 1st January 2007 • First School: Easter 2007, Durham • Residencies: First call: Summer 2007 Start date: 1st January 2008
