Check out our new guide for an overview of all the trainings, workshops and presentations the Library has to offer. Choose your menu depending on your profile and appetite!

For starters, we suggest introductions to better know the Library, its services and collections.
Continue with more substantial trainings to learn about Zotero – a bibliographic reference manager –, research data management, and open access.
For dessert, toppings are very short presentations on a specific subject such as Unpaywall or Creative Commons licenses.

Check out the calendar and register now!

We can also offer personalised support – make an appointment with a librarian through the “Tête-à-tête” form.

Enjoy your meal!
