Training for Scientists
Need some help to organise a workshop at your institute?
We run highly practical, interactive training workshops using simple but powerful concepts grounded in real research experience. Our training helps researchers manage their workload, communicate well, and get their science done.

Training in transferable skills, sometimes called “soft skills”, is key for researchers’ professional development. In fact, these are the fundamenta skills that stay with us throughout our careers, whether inside or outside academia. However, many institutes find it challenging to provide engaging, practical training that matches the high expectations of scientists. We deliver interactive workshops on transferrable skills to boost your institute’s training program.
Key topics for researchers’ professional development
To help institutes and scientific networks meet their researchers’ demand for training, we provide interactive workshops that help scientists deal with the main challenges they face in their everyday working environment. We use innovative training techniques and proven didactic concepts to create practical, engaging workshops on a range of key topics:
Thematic workshops
- Scientific Writing
- Grant Writing
- Oral and Poster Presentations
- How to Read a Paper
- Career Development
Workshops for different career stages
- Core communication Skills, Time and Project Management (for PhD students)
- Managing myself and working with my team (Postdocs edition)
- Managing myself and working with my team (Group Leaders edition)
- Writing in Teams (for Group Leaders)
