SciLink Foundation | Transferable Skills for Researchers

Transversal skills training

The nature of researchers’ work in the 21st century is changing rapidly! In academia and the corporate sector, researchers need to be confident, capable communicators; experts in research management, aware of the diversity of intercultural research groups and disciplines, manage stressful steps in their research, but remain open and innovative at the same time. At SciLink, we are committed to providing skills to early stage and experienced researchers, which reflects these needs through high quality workshops, mental health management, and mentoring.
