EUSEA training

for YOU

Tailored training to

match your needs.

EUSEA has launched a new Skill Training Programme – a series of short, hands-on sessions designed to strengthen practical skills in science engagement.

Each session focuses on doing, not just discussing: participants dive into focused activities that build expertise in areas like event design, storytelling, facilitation, partnership-building, evaluation, and more.

✔️ Compact & accessible: Each training is a stand-alone, half-day session that you can fit easily into your schedule.
✔️ Interactive & practical: Learn from experienced practitioners and walk away with tools you can apply immediately.
✔️ Community-driven: Sessions are designed by and for the EUSEA community — shaped by real needs and shared experiences.

Whether you’re a science communicator, museum educator, researcher, or student eager to expand your toolkit, this programme offers a fresh way to learn, connect, and grow.

What you should know:
  • Open to everyone, with reduced fees for EUSEA members.
  • We’ll begin with a few pilot trainings to test and refine the format.
  • This is your chance to highlight the skills you want to learn and suggest trainers (including yourself!).
  • To ensure transparency, Board members and Office staff won’t deliver the pilots – instead, external trainers and nominated members will be invited
  • The cost of the training is as follows:
    • EUSEA Member – 100 EUR
    • Non-Member 350 EUR
    • I hereby confirm that I am becoming a member starting in 2026 – 100 EUR
