Many different actors at Unisi contribute to the setting of the Training Offer for Researchers: the result is a broad and calibrated proposal of topics ranging from soft skills to technical abilities or mandatory requirements to perform research.
All Unisi courses/ initiatives/workshops – together with a selected list of events organised by other entities – are scheduled in this Calendar
Training Framework:
a. Knowledge, intellectual abilities, and techniques to do research
b. Knowledge of professional standards and requirements to do research
c. Knowledge and skills to work with others to ensure the wider impact of research
Target:
the term Researcher is used by the European Commission in the widest possible sense and includes all researchers, from PhD students to Full Professors. Here are the four identified profiles, as reported also in our HRS4R Action Plan :
R1 First Stage Researcher (up to the point of PhD)
R2 Recognised Researcher (PhD holders or equivalent who are not yet fully independent)
R3 Established Researcher (researchers who have developed a level of independence)
R4 Leading Researcher (researchers leading their research area or field)
