Summary
In research infrastructures there is the need for staff with an extraordinary blend of scientific, technical and managerial expertise.
Considering that highly skilled personnel play a vital role in constructing, operating and implementing research infrastructures and serving users, research infrastructures must be able to attract, up-skill, and valorise specialised staff to exploit their full potential.
Detailed Call Description
This action will support structuring the offer of training activities dedicated to enhancing skills and career profiles of technical staff working in research infrastructures, as ‘one-stop shop(s)’. This would cover activities such as the development of new training programmes addressed to cover specific needs of research infrastructures, training programmes that promote mobility and career opportunities throughout Europe (for example through staff exchange) or that create training opportunities (for example through summer schools or workshops).
Programmes may address the improvement of the skills of different professionals working in a single research infrastructure or in a single domain, and may also enhance horizontal key professionals across research infrastructure domains, covering identified common needs such as those related to digital aspects, research data management, Artificial Intelligence (AI) or enhanced remote access.
The activities should include the promotion of existing good practices, as well as dissemination and exploitation of successful experiences to a set of relevant stakeholders.
