WP4: Stakeholders training
WP4 aims to create comprehensive training resources for key stakeholders, primarily journalists and researchers. These materials will be developed to serve as valuable guides. The project will also conduct practical testing and provide both online and on-site training programs to enhance the skills and collaboration among journalists and researchers. Moreover, the initiative intends to foster partnerships not only among journalists but also between journalists and researchers. Ultimately, this WP will contribute to knowledge sharing by publishing the tested training materials in open access including guidelines for their implementation in different institutions and contexts.
Deliverables
D4.1: FRONTIERS Training programs
D4.2: Testing experiences plan
D4.3: Training programs and recommendations
