To promote and facilitate the actinide research, close cooperation with the facilities and sharing of technical and scientific information must be very important and effective. The Japan Actinide Network, J-ACTINET, has been established since March 2008. One of the main activities of the J-ACTINET is the training and education of young scientists and graduate students. The J-ACTINET summer school 2009 and 2010 were held in Ibaraki and Kansai, respectively, where graduate students and young scientists had an experience in actinide handling and experiments. In the framework of "The training and education of nuclear energy under the Japan actinide network", which started in December, 2010 and will end in March, 2013, J-ACTINET winter school for simulation and modeling and summer school for actinide experiments will be held for graduate students and young scientists, and J-ACTINET will give them chances to attend the summer school in Europe and international scientific conferences.
