The primary goal of work package 2 of the YUFERING Project is to create and implement a community-engagement-based research & innovation (CERI) approach across “Young Universities for the Future of Europe” (YUFE) Alliance, designed to be a scalable, efficient, and influential blueprint for a European University. 
Within this framework, task 2.4 focused on skills training for researchers and research support staff. YUFERING developed training programs aimed at continuous professional development, and alternated between sharing best practices and workshops that function as a test bed and training option for researchers.

Key to task 2.4 is the integration of insights from other tasks into these training programs, particularly centered around CERI. For instance, task 2.1's work on mapping CERI and developing a framework of success factors and challenges directly feeds into task 2.4's workshops. Similarly, the findings from task 2.2's survey on support policies, structures, and decision-making processes are also incorporated, enriching the content and structure of the workshops.
