CINECA_Training Programme_D6.2a

In this deliverable document, we report on the activities in task 6.2a - Training Programme and describe the CINECA training activities in the first 12 months of the project. In the first phase of the CINECA project, many of the training efforts are focused on internal learning opportunities and knowledge exchanges. There are many interdependencies between the different CINECA work packages, so to this end we have set up a staff exchange program. For training interventions targeted at a broader audience, we have set up a webinar series, providing online learning interventions. Feedback from these webinars is collected and is used to further increase the utility of the webinars going forward. We have disseminated a survey to identify the training needs of CINECA’s stakeholder community. Additionally, we ran our first stakeholder engagement session at the International Hundred Thousand Cohorts Consortium (IHCC) Meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland in April 2019. During this session, we gathered feedback on the challenges of managing cohorts and cohort data harmonisation. More extensive face-to-face workshops and training events are being planned for 2020
