Nature Masterclasses training needs assessment

conducted by HCEMM, 14 November 2023



At the 3rd HCEMM PhD-Postdoc symposium Sibyll Bandilla from Springer Nature held a presentation on Nature’s on-demand professional development training for researchers. HCEMM would like to renew its subscription to Nature Masterclasses for one more year (between 9 December 2023 - 8 December 2024), which is available for HCEMM affiliated members.

About the courses:

Nature Masterclasses offers professional development training for researchers — via online courses and workshops. The on-demand online courses ensure self-paced learning in convenient bite-sized units, with videos and engaging learning activities. They currently offer 22 training courses, but are also constantly expanding their training repertoire. Each of the courses is accessible by using a single subscription code, the number of which must be assessed before purchasing a subscription. The subscription fee is charged to the HCEMM central budget, not to the research groups.
