Being successful in academia requires numerous skills across the research life cycle. However, many early- to mid-career researchers do not receive the necessary training to achieve this. 

The Nature Masterclasses team have developed a series of interactive workshops to support researchers across a range of essential topics, such as scientific writing and publishing, academic presentations, communicating science to the public, and many more. These workshops include activities to allow participants to put learned content into practice and promote active learning. 

Workshops are delivered live, either in person or virtually, to facilitate discussion and Q&A sessions between the participants and the trainer.

Nature Masterclasses offers 1- or 2-day live workshops, either in person or virtually, led by expert trainers.
