Soft skills, Seminars, Laboratory activities

- Language Improvement: Doctoral students can enhance their linguistic abilities through the services provided by the University Language Center. More information is available at https://centri.unibo.it/cla/en.
- Enhance and Communicate Research (training in intellectual property, creating new business opportunities, and scientific dissemination); Methods, Techniques, and Tools (research data management, open science practices, and data visualization techniques); Planning Your Future (preparing for careers outside academia). The University offers a comprehensive training program specifically for doctoral students to develop these soft skills. For more details, visit https://eventi.unibo.it/competenze-trasversali-dottorato.

- Open Science: To increase awareness of open science, doctoral students are invited to participate in events organized by external parties, such as the Italian Computing and Data Infrastructure (ICDI). More information can be found at https://www.icdi.it/en/.

- Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications: Doctoral students are also encouraged to attend courses organized by RItrainPlus. This project offers new training opportunities through theoretical lessons and practical activities, providing an overview of the ethical, legal, and social implications in research organizations and infrastructures. For more information, visit https://ritrainplus.eu/.

Reproducibility of Research: Doctoral students are encouraged to enhance their understanding of research reproducibility. This includes a) making raw data and research code accessible, enabling others to replicate the results presented in their research conclusions; b) emphasizing the concept of replicability, which ensures that scientific methodologies can be reproduced to reach similar conclusions.
For more insights, doctoral students are invited to participate in seminars organized by the Italian Reproducibility Network. Details can be found at https://www.itrn.org/.

- Soft Relational Skills: Doctoral students are encouraged to enhance their communication skills through workshops organized by external bodies. These workshops focus on developing public communication skills during dissemination events. An example of such workshops are the CNIT/WiLab laboratories, which offer five-day intensive experiences on Soft Skills. These sessions are conducted in person with professional trainers.
