Description

PULSE has been specifically designed to connect early-career researchers with opportunities and skills that support long-term career sustainability across sectors. To meet this goal, the PULSE training program has been developed using the European Competency Framework for Researchers (ResearchComp). As such, being or hosting a PULSE postdoc has specific requirements that differ from some traditional postdoctoral training programs.

The Transferrable Skills Training modules provide resources and practice of skills ranging from scientific communication to research project management, skills for coping with stress to discussing epistomology of big data.

Modules are released every other month.
