ELITMa in 2024 - ELIXIR-STEERS, PeoplePulse & beyond
In successive activities by the ELIXIR Training Platform, ELIXIR-CONVERGE (WP6-WP2 collaboration) and the ELIXIR Node Coordinators Group, ELIXIR has set out to build a course portfolio for ELIXIR Training in Management (ELITMa, see further below for more background information). Next steps are now needed to consolidate and roll-out existing modules and to design, develop and deliver a number of new modules. This is planned as a synergetic activity in ELIXIR-STEERS and the PeoplePulse CoS, but in addition we reach out to the ELIXIR community for colleagues who want to contribute to the 10 foreseen Modules of ELITMa.
In the webinar, an overview will be given of the ELITMa work done until now, the plans for ELIXIR-STEERS and PeoplePulse, and the way ELIXIR members can contribute with their expertise to one or more of the ELITMa modules.
ELITMa - Background
In the period 2019-2021, an assessment of the needs in training of management and operations across Nodes was undertaken by the Training Platform. This work was taken further in the ELIXIR-CONVERGE in a collaboration of WP2, WP6 and the ELIXIR Node Coordinators Group to develop the required curriculum, consisting of 8 modules (Report):
- ELIXIR Governance and Organisational Behaviour
- Data Management
- Strategic Management
- Leading Teams in ELIXIR
- Legal and ethics issues
- Communication
- Financial Management
- Project Management
Additionally, as a ELIXIR-CONVERGE WP2 uplift project, 3 modules of ELITMa were developed and delivered in 2023:
- ELIXIR Introduction/Governance
- Node RDM Strategy
- Project Management
For all ELITMa modules, there is involvement from the Nodes but also a dedicated contact person from the Hub. This ensures that the ELITMa modules are developed in line with the strategy of both Hub and Nodes.
Going forward, in ELIXIR-STEERS and the PeoplePulse, the ELITMa portfolio will be expanded with two modules about Impact and Carbon Footprint.
