+====== Welcome to the ASTONRail Handbook! ======
+{{ :astonrail_handbook:astonrail_final_logo.jpg?nolink&200|}}
+The ASTONRail handbook shall be a living collection of usefull links and information on **innovative rail higher education**. It lives by contributions of all stakeholders of the railway sector in a low-threshold way (create an account and contribute with your experience!).
+The development of the ASTONRail handbook started during Working Group 8 of the [[http://astonrail.eu|ASTONRail project]] (Advanced approacheS and practices for rail training and education TO inNovate Rail study programmes & Improve rail higher education provision) under responsibility of [[https://en.th-wildau.de/|TH Wildau]] ([[https://www.th-wildau.de/forschung-transfer/forschung/verkehrslogistik/projekte/astonrail/|Research Group Transport Logistics]] and [[https://en.th-wildau.de/study/programmes/transportation-system-engineering-beng/|Transportation System Engineering]]) with contribution from all [[astonrail_handbook:astonrail_project:project-description|project partners]]. It collects a lot of the results of this [[https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/|EU-Erasmus+]] project in a flexible and dynamic way.
+===== Handbook Structure and Target Groups =====
+The main structure of the ASTONRail handbook follows the target groups we identified in the project, as this are:
+  - **[[astonrail_handbook:future_students:future-students|Future students]]** who want to start a career in rail and therefor are looking for suitable study courses: You will find your rail-related study course in the [[astonrail_handbook:future_students:database_welcome|ASTONRail database]] and get information about career perspectives and job profiles
+  - **[[astonrail_handbook:students_graduates:students-graduates|Students and graduates]]** who are looking for a job in the railway sector: You will get information about the needs of the industry and where to find a job
+  - **[[astonrail_handbook:hei_teachers:hei-teachers|People in HEI and teachers]]** who want to implement approaches and learning methods in their railway course and programmes and/or who want to build up new rail-focused courses and programmes: You get information about teaching and learning methods for rail skills development in the [[astonrail_handbook:hei_teachers:tm_database_welcome|ASTONRail methods catalogue]] and get to know how to implement them in practice from the ASTONRail best practice examples.
+  - **Career changers** who will enter the railway sector: You are also warmly very welcome in this handbook and in the railway sector. Information on studying can be found [[astonrail_handbook:future_students:future-students|here]] and information on where to find a job are [[astonrail_handbook:students_graduates:students-graduates|here]].
+We also collect information about the structure of Higher Education, especially in rail. Therefore we have a special section: [[astonrail_handbook:hei_teachers:eqf_levels|EQF levels and the Rail Career Matrix]]
+Finally, more information about the [[astonrail_handbook:astonrail_project:project-description|ASTONRail project]] and the produced outcome is collected on a few wiki pages.
+However, this wiki lives from participation. It will only ever contain as much information and be as up-to-date as you as a user contribute to it. **So, please, contribute!**
+(What a wiki is and how it works is documented [[wiki:dokuwiki|here]]. For syntax issues [[wiki:syntax|this site]] will help.)
