Postgraduate Training Programme
This programme provides postgraduates and researchers with the skills required to join the online research community, harness the web and utilise its potential. Such skills are essential for future employability.
The programme is designed to be flexible and is customised to suit the training requirements of each individual institution. A tailored programme may include all or a selection from the sessions.
The Workshops
