EDIT– Excellence in Detector and Instrumentation Technologies - is a school series under the auspices of ICFA. Previous instances were CERN 2011, FNAL 2012, KEK 2013, Frascati 2015, FNAL 2018.
EDIT is devoted to young researchers, in their graduate studies or in their first year as post docs, seeking to acquire a deeper knowledge on the major aspects of detectors and instrumentation technologies for particle physics. The school comprises lectures and four courses with hands-on experiments, including beam tests, on silicon sensors, silicon systems, calorimetry and gas detectors.
EDIT-2020 took place at DESY in Hamburg, Germany on February 17-28, 2020

Programme
Lectures wre held on the first and last day of the school, and on every morning in-between. The courses started after the morning lectures and last to the end of the day. The week-end was free for social activities.

Practical Information
The registration fee was 150 Euro and covered coffee breaks, reception and dinner.
Affordable accommodation was available at the DESY hostel; a block reservation has been made. Participants could book rooms after having received a confirmation of acceptance of their application.
The deadline for applications is over, and all selected candidates have registered, no registration or application is possible anymore!
