The document discusses a survey of 75% European respondents in varying career stages, revealing that 76% utilize self-taught methods for learning and 67% require training in data analysis. It emphasizes the need for better training resources and discovery platforms for researchers, particularly in computer science fields with high unemployment rates among graduates. Additionally, it highlights the significance of proper data preservation and the emerging focus on data as a valuable resource in scientific processes.

- 11. Sharing effective learning methods Do you have a learning method that works for you and that you'd be happy to share with others? Tell us! http://svy.mk/1d2AeBH Where are your trainees? How many are you training? What is your schedule of delivery likely to be? What is the training content? What are your main limitations? What type of learning delivery would you consider using? What are your goals for this training? ! Local ! National " International ! Face-to-face ! Distance " Blended ! One-off ! Several times in short succession " Annually/ biannually ! Extended over several weeks/ months 5methods meet your criteria • We’re building a resource that will help course developers to find and use learning methods well suited to the type of training that they do • You’ll be able to select appropriate methods for your type of course • For each method we’ll provide practical information on how to implement it • Most importantly, you’ll be able to find real examples of how the method is used, and you’ll be able to get in touch with people using the method to learn more and perhaps arrange to see it in action.
