Training in the various skills of research
Noria Research wanted to put its experience and network at the service of training young researchers in order to help empower them, support them in the face of the difficulties and violence they encounter, help them assert their rights and consolidate their ability to conduct quality research.
With this in mind, between 2021 and 2023 Noria proposed an innovative research training program, free, open to all and online, built around the craft of research, to complement the academic background of young researchers and meet the clearly identified need for professional support.
Each month, doctoral students of all nationalities and disciplines met with an experienced researcher and a member of Noria. Our aim was to share the tools of research with as many people as possible, and enable them to learn this profession collectively.
Below, you can find the history of “The Making of a Researcher” training cycle.
