Highlight of the month
ResearchComp Self-Assessment Tool
The new self-assessment tool of the European Competence Framework for Researchers enables researchers to gain an overview of their research competences in just a few minutes. Where are my strengths? Which competences can I develop further? A short questionnaire is available for each of the seven competence areas. The results will be sent to you as a pdf; here you will find the link to a video tutorial.
