Training

The ENGLOBE training programme combines various elements of local and networkwide training including secondments and training in complementary skills.
Each dissertation is supervised in a co-tutelle mode. Every ESR will choose two supervisors from the partner institutions. One of the supervisors will serve as a mentor, selected by the ESR. Mentors will pay particular attention to the ESR, acting as career advisor and science communicator, and accompanying the personal and professional development of the ESR by providing support and guidance. ENGLOBE will provide certificates explicitly highlighting the obtained international training in both scientific and intercultural competencies.
All ESR will be integrated in the local graduate and teaching programmes at partners' sites. 
E-lectures and e-seminars will provide general as well as specialized knowledge for the ESR. The electronic course will ensure the ESR's scientific qualification in the fields of Global History and European Intellectual History. Its interdisciplinary character will familiarize the ESR with different approaches and methodologies. The contribution of researchers from all partner institutions, coming from a variety of academic cultures, will allow the ESR to transcend the limitations of a narrow national context.

There will two three-months-periods of secondments to extra-European associated partners as well as to non-academic partner institutions. By the membership of the umbrella organisation of European Cultural Institute EUNIC (http://www.eunic-europe.eu) in the supervisory board of ENGLOBE a close consultation concerning the implementation of the Working visits is guaranteed.
Additional complementary training will be provided in:

  • introductory courses in e-platforms, e-learning, and e-communication;
  • presentation and moderation techniques;
  • European project management, digital libraries, intercultural communication, and European cultural policies;
  • external experts will inform the ESR about national foundations and projectfunding opportunities; 
  • in addition, female ESR will have the opportunity of taking part in an Academic Career Mentoring programme.
