- DCs are integrated into local postgraduate programs, which offer both general and specialised courses closely aligned with each DC’s research focus, as well as courses in transferable skills
- These skills include scientific writing, communication for conference presentations and statistical data analysis and outreach to broader audiences
- Additional training includes courses in project management and language skills. DCs are encouraged to take courses in business creation and start-up development to foster entrepreneurial skills
- The technical courses provided by the Glass-Care consortium are complemented by open-access on-line webinars from the IPERION HS Academy and the ATHENA European University
- In these webinars, the DCs are trained by leading experts outside the network. The webinars are typically 30 minutes long
- Students are asked to attend 6 lectures, selected in agreement with their supervisors
- Lectures:

DCs will attend the following on-line courses:
– Five short courses offered on the Open platform for learning in Open science, research data management (RDM) and FAIR principles (OpenPlato):
- Managing and Sharing Research Data
- Open and FAIR Research Data
- Open Access Publishing
- Best practice in Open Science.
– Two lectures (~30 minutes) from the Iperion series focusing on fair data in heritage science:
- Open and FAIR Science with a case study from the FAIR Phytoliths project (E. Karoune)
- Fair data. The challenge of interoperability in Heritage Science (K. Balzuweit).
– A lecture created during the EU Horizon 2020 DocEnhance 21 project on data management:
FOSTER – What is Open Science
- Data Stewardship – Module 1: MOOC.
When setting up the ITP, additional online courses on transferable skills from the DocEnhance and GEANT platforms should be considered. These courses focus on professional and research competences and complement the transferable skills training provided by the doctoral schools:
- Career Management & Entrepreneurship
- Teamworking and networking
- Personal effectiveness and leadership
- Enhancing communication and negotiation skills for PhD candidates
- Leadership and Management – difficult conversations; Visualisation skills – creating effective visual message.
