DESCRIPTION:This series of online lectures started in 2022\, with the inte
 ntion to support UK PhD student training in instrumentation\, along with c
 ontinued development of postdocs and beyond. At present\, it is geared tow
 ards the needs of the silicon/semiconductor community\, and arose from int
 ernal UK community discussions which took place during 2021. In 2023\, par
 ticipation was opened beyond the UK to the international community in the 
 hopes that it could prove useful.\nThe courses focus on the background kno
 wledge involved in silicon detector development\, from solid-state theory 
 to electronics and remote software tutorials. Lectures are grouped into th
 e following themes:\n\nSemiconductor Theory\nElectronics and DAQ\nMechanic
 s and cooling\nFabrication and structures\nExperimental techniques\nTCAD e
 lectric field and transport simulations\nSoftware tools\nShort topics\n\nE
 ach lecture course consists of ~8 one-hour lectures\, with lectures groupe
 d into two 4-hour slots each week.\n\nFor the 2026 iteration\, lectures wi
 ll be run on:\n\nTuesday afternoons 13:00 - 17:00 BST\nFriday mornings 9
 :00 - 13:00 BST\n\nin the weeks beginning May 4 - June 22 inclusive.\n\nRe
 gistration is open to everyone\, and attendance is not enforced. Attendin
 g a subset of courses is entirely acceptable. The courses are run as a com
 munity effort on a voluntary basis by UK-based lecturers\, but feedback on
  the layout and topics will be welcome with the aim of future improvements
 .\nRegistration is required in order to provide zoom connection details an
 d send updates to the timetable in the event that lectures have to be resc
 heduled.\n\nIn 2024 there was a hands-on residential summer school buildin
 g upon the material presented in the online lectures. This took place in t
 he first two weeks of July at the University of Oxford. More details can b
 e found at:\nhttps://indico.global/e/ukhepinst2024\nThe school is planned 
 to be held bi-annually\, with the next iteration to be held this year\, ag
 ain at the university of Oxford. An announcement will be circulated shortl
 y.\n\nSteering committee members:\n\nUniversity of Birmingham - Karol Kriz
