Training and Capacity Building
The TDCC-LSH FAIR fellowship project offers a specialized training programme focused on specific knowledge, competencies and skills needed to implement FAIR successfully. The training complements the expertise that the fellows gain by working on a use case under the guidance of the coaches. The programme addresses three main themes.

3. Transversal skills

Portfolio
During the period of the fellowship, monthly online) meetings are organised in which the fellows present their use cases and the progress they made to their peers and discuss potential barriers and opportunities in realizing and implementing their deliverables. Alternating with the monthly meetings, approximately every 6 – 8 weeks, the fellows participate in half or full day training sessions. Fellows will receive a certificate of participation for each session, stating the learning goals of the session and the time investment. The certificates form part of the portfolio that the fellows compile during the year.
