Education & Training Centre

It aims to build a community of practice among CHRC members, create opportunities for their lifelong development and support the development of innovative, competitive post-graduate training programmes, streamlining the cooperation among involved institutions and international institutions. Bruno Heleno led this office that collected and disseminated information about the advanced research training (advance courses, MSc and PhD programmes) in all institutions integrating CHRC and shared it with the community. CHRC board of directors have facilitated exchange programs between PhD students and Pos-Docs within CHRC institutions contributing to increase the internal collaborations. Also, many researchers had the opportunity to participate in exchange programs like EUTOPIA PhD co-tutelle program. Between 2020 and 2023, 28 pos-doc researchers and 4 PhD students moved to other top-level institutions for short and medium-term periods via Erasmus Plus and CHRC Scholarships. Other activities developed by the E&T Office were the assessment of CHRC researchers' and Staff training needs, and consequent design and delivery of training actions, eg. "Mixed Methods - Integrating quantitative and qualitative methods"; "Untangling funding applications for European Opportunities"; "Project management in health".
