We develop state of the art long- or short-term human capacity development programmes to suit your needs and keep learners engaged. Our programmes include reproducible research, open science, digital and computational skills training, the use of open educational resources, and other contemporary issues in research and higher education.
Inappropriate training initiatives can leave staff demotivated and waste time and financial resources. We work closely with clients to design optimal training solutions or help to find existing programmes, courses, and learning opportunities that addresses their needs.
Our mission is to support sustainable skills development to ensure clients optimise their investment in terms of time and money. We go beyond traditional approaches of ad hoc events and develop comprehensive multi-year programmes to facilitate radical upskilling or reskilling initiatives. We work closely with clients to co-design programmes that address actual needs and simultaneously implement monitoring and evaluation processes to improve and adjust throughout the programme.
We partner with existing communities and initiatives or develop custom content and programmes to provide training in research data science, research data management, open science, open-source software development, and more. Workshops can run over a few hours, days or months and can either be implemented as in-person or online events or as blended learning programmes.

Mentorship is key to sustained learning and skills development. We are part of various international mentorship initiatives and can help design and implement customised programmes to suit your needs. Mentor training can also be included to provide added support.
We are available to do presentations (in-person or online) on a range of topics including open science, reproducible research, digital innovation in research, open educational resources, research infrastructure, communities of practice, and more. Please get in touch to discuss your needs.
Our training does not only focus on learners. We strongly believe that instructors and trainers with empathy for learners and an understanding of fundamental educational psychology and pedagogy can make the world of difference in a learning environment. We have experience as instructors and instructor trainers and can recommend resources such as The Carpentries instructor training course and Teaching Tech Together by Greg Wilson. We can work with you to build up a community of trainers for your educational resources.
