The Politecnico di Torino promotes the continuous professional development of researchers, lecturers, and professors, offering opportunities to enhance skills and support career growth at every stage of the academic path.
The Training Portal for Professors and Researchers, accessible from the University intranet, brings together in a single platform courses, resources, and tools to develop skills useful for research, teaching, and collaboration with society.
The training offer is organised into three areas:
- Teaching and Language laboratory – resources to support and innovate teaching and student-centred learning;
- Doing research and Making an impact – resources to design, fund, and enhance research;
- Self-management and Soft skills – resources to strengthen interpersonal skills and effectively manage one’s professional development.
The platform includes live courses, on-demand resources, and training materials that are always available.
Among the available resources:
- courses from the international platform Nature Masterclasses, dedicated to researchers’ professional skills development;
- training content offered by the partner universities of the UNITE! European Alliance;
- the European Commission’s self-assessment tool, based on the European Competence Framework for Researchers (ResearchComp), to self-evaluate skills and plan professional growth;
- an online form to propose new courses or training topics.
The initiatives and resources collected in the portal reflect the Politecnico di Torino’s commitment to supporting the professional development and enhancement of research staff skills, in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the University’s strategies.
