ELIXIR-CH and ELIXIR-SE are pleased to announce an ELIXIR Train the Trainer course, which will take place on 8-10 May at the University of Basel, Switzerland. 

Train-the-Trainer courses are for scientists:

This course will cover 4 main topics:
- learning principles and how they apply to education and training;
- teaching techniques that can be used to enhance learner engagement and participation;
- design of lessons, course and materials;

Examples and discussions will also focus on the challenges presented by academic teaching.
