Meeting of partners in Warsaw

After the first six months of the project, partners discussed the results of the interviews with DUC experts about the state of the art of the DUC field in their respective countries and the result of a wide online survey about the need of the target group regarding a DUC course.

Partners agreed that based on the findings, the level that should be addressed by the course developed in the project will be the following:

The development of the prototype of the course has started. The first short-term staff training event – that will be held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on 8-10 October 2019 – will involve the participants in co-designing exercises of the DUCK course.

In the next couple of weeks, all participating countries will have a national focus group event where the research findings will be validated and input from the professional community to the project developments will be gathered. All results will be published in the report: Needs analysis and best practices of data understanding and communication (DUC)

This research report maps the state-of-the-art in DUC teaching methods in the consortium partner countries and at EU level:

  • critical and analytical skills needed for teachers and trainers
  • best practices of data understanding and communication teaching methods
  • Innovative teaching and training activities Toolkit

The publication is expected in September 2019.
