Free e-Learning opportunities

The Global e-Learning Program will initially comprise two separate courses on ‘How to Write a Convincing Proposal’ and ‘How to Communicate Scientific Research’. Methods and materials for both courses were developed by experienced international specialists and were tested extensively in two successful pilot e-learning programs in 2005. Both will be on-line for 4 months during 2006. Participants can choose to take either or both of the courses.
