The Nature Masterclasses is a professional development training platform for researchers to build their skills, confidence and careers.
Courses are specifically designed to be used on demand and at your rhythm. They are bite-sized into modules, rich in instructional videos, visual materials and supporting text so you can choose your own learning path – whether that is working through a course in order, or dipping in and out of modules.
The courses are designed to be interactive with in-lesson activities that will keep you engaged and give you plenty of opportunities to practise using new skills and concepts.
Politecnico di Torino has an institutional subscription to Nature Masterclasses. This subscription grants everyone with a PoliTO account access to all currently available online courses on the Nature Masterclasses platform. At the end of this page, information on how to login for the first time.
