Training Programme, Detailed D6.4

In this deliverable document, we report on the activities in task 6.4 - Training Programme, describe the CINECA training activities in the first 24 months of the project and provide the Training Plan for the next 12-24 months.

As with the first 12 months of the CINECA project, many of the training efforts for the second 12 months also focused on internal learning opportunities and knowledge exchanges. However, all the training and outreach events have been heavily impacted by COVID-19, which removed our ability to hold face-to-face workshops and staff exchanges.

For training interventions targeted at a broader audience, we have set up a webinar series, providing quarterly online learning interventions. We ran a total of 6 webinars (3 of these webinars in 2019, and 3 in 2020), with 23 attendees on average, 68% on average of those who registered. In addition, a series of short training videos (https://www.cineca-project.eu/short-videos) was created to facilitate the uptake of CINECA outputs. Eight short videos were produced by work packages on different topics. To increase engagement, the short videos were submitted to ELIXIR’s training portal and disseminated via CINECA’s various communication channels.
