Complementary Training

LipidBRIGHT offers a structured programme of online transferable skills training, fully aligned with the training concept defined in the Description of Action. These activities complement the scientific and technical training of the doctoral candidates and support their long-term career development in academia, industry, and beyond.

Online training courses are delivered at network level and are accessible to all doctoral candidates,

forming an integral part of the LipidBRIGHT doctoral training programme.

Transferable skills training

Career orientation and career development, including structured sessions on academic and non-academic career paths, individual career planning, and professional profiling.

Leadership, communication, and personal development, supporting doctoral candidates in developing skills required for interdisciplinary teamwork, scientific communication, and leadership roles.

Innovation, entrepreneurship, and business development, addressing knowledge valorisation, intellectual property, and pathways for translating research results into clinical or industrial applications.

Open science, research integrity, and ethics, including responsible research and innovation, data management, and compliance with European open science policies.

Interdisciplinary and intersectoral skills, strengthening the ability of doctoral candidates to work across disciplines and sectors, particularly at the interface of health research, data science, and innovation.

These training activities are delivered through online courses, webinars, virtual workshops, and seminar series, often in collaboration with LipidBRIGHT associated partners and external expert networks.

Examples of online training activities

The LipidBRIGHT online training programme includes, among others:

Online career orientation workshops, supporting informed career choices inside and outside academia.
Skills-for-health research courses, focusing on transferable competencies relevant to biomedical and translational research.
Online workshops organised with academic partners.

Integration into individual training plans

Participation in online training activities is embedded in the individual training plans of the doctoral candidates and complements network-wide workshops, local supervision, and intersectoral secondments, as defined in the LipidBRIGHT Description of Action.

The online training portfolio is continuously updated throughout the project to respond to the evolving needs of the doctoral candidates.
