ELIXIR Estonia is delighted to share that our Data Managers, Heleri and Diana, recently attended the Estonian Research Council’s event, “Teaduskommunikatsiooni järelkasv: kust tulevad ja kuhu kaovad teaduskommunikaatorid?” (“The Future of Science Communication: Where Do Communicators Come From and Where Do They Go?”).
On October 15, citizen science enthusiasts, researchers, and representatives from various institutions gathered in Tartu for a seminar on advancing citizen science in Estonia. The Estonian Research Council hosted the event and attracted participants from universities, museums, government agencies, and beyond. The seminar fostered active discussions and collaboration, emphasising the importance of building and maintaining a strong network to support citizen science initiatives in the country.
The fourth ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference, which was held at the University of Tartu from 7 to 9 October 2024, was themed “Innovation and Creativity in Higher Education.” Our training coordinator, Diana, attended the conference to learn about student-oriented teaching methods.

This course introduces scientific researchers and PhD students to Notion, a versatile and powerful tool for productivity and organisation. Participants will learn to use Notion to streamline their workflows, manage their research projects, and enhance collaboration with colleagues. By the end of the course, attendees will have a deep understanding of Notion’s features and practical strategies to integrate them into their daily routines.
This course introduces you to the essentials of interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs). You’ll learn why chatbots are increasingly relevant and how mastering the skill of prompting can significantly reduce work time. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll gain practical experience in crafting precise prompts, ensuring you can leverage LLMs for a variety of tasks.
