Theme 3: Community building and training

This theme aims to build connections between early career researchers (ECRs) across the AIM programme so knowledge and expertise can be shared across AIM and into the wider network. Through hands-on workshops, and other events such as ECR lunchtime sessions and collaboration cafes, RSF is creating a supportive research environment that can help to advance the goals of open science and drive scientific progress in healthcare research. 

Theme 3 has supported and collaborated with other themes on their work packages and training efforts such as the AIM-RSF Drug Lists Repository and the Version control workshop series. 

Theme 3 have surveyed AIM researchers to establish training needs across the consortia. A bespoke series of training sessions has been organised to upskill researchers in areas where needs have been identified as well as providing training on specific open research practices that are important to the culture of AIM RSF.
