The CNID School on Instrumentation and Detectors for Nuclear, Particle and Astroparticle Physics is a unique training initiative specifically designed for PhD students from Spanish research institutions. The School represents the first coordinated effort at the national level to bring together the nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics communities within a single, coherent programme fully focused on detector technologies, instrumentation, and experimental methodologies.

This School goes beyond the traditional concept of a lecture-based event. It combines keynote lectures delivered by leading experts from the three scientific domains with an extensive programme of hands-on training sessions, offering participants a comprehensive and practical overview of the current state of the art in detector technologies and experimental techniques. By encouraging interaction among students, as well as with experts from different communities, the School offers a natural environment for early-career researchers to develop professional connections and a common technical background.

The hands-on programme of the School covers the full experimental chain, from detector concepts and signal generation to electronics, data acquisition, and advanced data analysis techniques. The training activities encompass the following detector and instrumentation categories:

• Radiation detection and spectroscopy

• Imaging techniques

• Scintillation and photodetector technologies

• Semiconductor detectors and characterisation

• Gaseous detector technologies

• Calorimetric detection

• Low-rate and ultra-low-background event detection

• Electronics, trigger and data acquisition systems

• Simulation and advanced data analysis

Through this integrated approach, the School provides PhD students with hands-on exposure to technologies and methods that are central to current and future experiments in nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics. At the same time, it strengthens the national instrumentation community
