Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the SIB and ELIXIR Train-the-Trainer course. http://www.sib.swiss/training/upcoming-training-events/2017-ttt

This ELIXIR Train-the-Trainer course, organized by ELIXIR-Switzerland (SIB) and ELIXIR-Italy, will take place on 16-18 January 2017 in Lausanne.

Train-the-Trainer courses are for scientists with some to little or no teaching experience, who believe teaching is - or may become - a relevant aspect of their professional development.This course will cover 4 main themes:

1. learning principles applied to education and training; 2. techniques used to enhance learner engagement and participation; 3. design of sessions, courses and materials; 4. assessment and feedback in training.

The participants will also sit in an actual SIB Unix command line course to observe how effective techniques are applied in a real-world training class. Read more and register here http://www.sib.swiss/training/upcoming-training-events/2017-ttt?acm=21_106 .

Further detailed information, programme and application form are available from here http://www.sib.swiss/training/upcoming-training-events/2017-ttt. Any question? Don't hesitate to contact us at training@sib.swiss.

Hope to see you there! Best wishes, Diana Marek
