This four-day online course covers four different modules for trainers to enhance their understanding of EOSC and various related topics alongside their ability to integrate it into their training activities.

The first module, Preparing to Train about EOSC, will provide trainers with an overview of EOSC, its role in enabling open science, and its main components. The second module, Using the EOSC Portal, will delve into the various services and functionalities available on the EOSC Portal and how trainers can utilise them in their training activities. The third module, Addressing Legal and Ethical Issues relating to EOSC Use, will cover the legal and ethical issues involved in EOSC use, and the ways in which trainers can address these issues in their training activities. Finally, the fourth module, Crafting your own Training using the EOSC Knowledge Hub and Other Resources, will provide trainers with hands-on experience in creating their own training using EOSC resources and the EOSC Knowledge Hub.

Trainers can sign up for one, all, or a combination of the modules, depending on their interests and needs. The course will be delivered online via Zoom from 26-29 June 2023.
