RItrain ©BBMRI-ERIC RItrain will develop a flagship training programme enabling RIs across all domains to gain expertise on governance, organisation, financial and staff management, funding, IP, service provision and outreach in an international context. Key manager and leader of RI will be trained via this project. For operators a similar approach is foreseen within the CORBEL project. 31/10/2021 7
RItrain Major Objectives 2. 3. 4. 31/10/2021 Definition of required competencies in distributed RIs throughout the lifecycle of an RI, from the initial preparatory phase through to operational maturity. Mapping of these competency requirements to existing training courses and programmes. Development and piloting of a comprehensive curriculum, at master’s level, incorporating existing training opportunities and creating new content to fill the gaps. Development of continuing professional development, including a series of webinars based on how real challenges in research infrastructures have been overcome, and a staff-exchange programme. ©BBMRI-ERIC 1. 9
RItrain Impact ©BBMRI-ERIC RItrain will professionalise the training of both current and future managers of RIs. To ensure that the training delivered is successful, i. e. improves the capacities of RI management teams and thus the RIs, RItrain will rely on four activities: 1. The basis of successful training lies in the definition of required competencies. 2. The competency profiles will be mapped to existing training courses and programmes. 3. Our curriculum design process incorporates several measures to maximise the impact of the training that we develop. 4. The training delivery will contribute to the impact not only by building the desired competencies in our trainees, but also by creating a network of RI managers with a shared language and a better understanding of areas in which specific RIs excel. 31/10/2021 10

CORBEL • Brings together 11 biological and medical research infrastructures (BMS RI) • BBMRI, EATRIS, ECRIN, ELIXIR, Infrafrontier, Instruct, EU-OPENSCREEN, EMBRC, Euro. Bio. Imaging, ISBE, MIRRI • Goals: • • 31/10/2021 Forge effective partnerships with user communities. Develop unique solutions to user needs. Implement a portfolio of generic, shared services. ©BBMRI-ERIC • 12
CORBEL • • ©BBMRI-ERIC • • WP 1: Project management and coordination WP 2: Documentation, communication and outreach WP 3: Community-driven cross-infrastructure joint research– Medical WP 4: Community-driven cross-infrastructure joint research– Bioscience WP 5: Enabling common solutions for user access WP 6: Data access, management and integration WP 7: Common services to provide support with Ethical, Legal and Societal Issues WP 8: Accelerating innovation WP 9: Training 31/10/2021 13
CORBEL – WP 9 • Coordinated by BBMRI-ERIC (Markus Paster – WP 9 leader) • Focused primarily on RI operators in BMS RI hubs and nodes • Four cluster areas: data management & integration, physical access, ethics, and innovation. 31/10/2021 ©BBMRI-ERIC • Define the competency requirements • Develop and deliver courses • Provide staff-exchange programs 14
CORBEL – WP 9 • Development of modular training curriculum • Based on short courses • Close coordination with IMI EMTRAIN oncourse® resource • Reuse/incorpopration where applicable • >6. 000 postgraduate courses throughout Europe • www. lifetrain. eu 31/10/2021 ©BBMRI-ERIC • Partners: all the BMS RIs 15
Technical Means • Strong focus on webinars is assumed as of now • Community has positive experiences with them already. 31/10/2021 ©BBMRI-ERIC • Possibly augmented with online courses. 16
Technical Means • OSC may be used as a complement for courses targeted on computation/storage heavy segments of research related to BBMRI-ERIC 31/10/2021 ©BBMRI-ERIC • Omics data analysis as developed in Biobank. Cloud project • Deployment of private clouds for both researchers and biobankers (RI operators) • Expected to be used more extensively in CORBEL curricula 17
