Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just starting out, our webinars provide valuable opportunities to reevaluate your working methods, acquire new insights, and boost your researcher skills. Our webinars remain free and accessible to all, regardless of prior knowledge. While the primary audience includes researchers, university staff, and students, anyone with an interest in these subjects is encouraged to join. Each training season introduces entirely new topics, along with updates to our recurring webinars based on your valuable feedback.

Some of our webinars are recorded and published on the Aalto Research Services YouTube channel. There you can also find previous recordings. Our lectures include interactive segments or a Q&A session at the end, which won't be recorded to respect your privacy. We encourage you to actively participate, pose questions to our experts, and contribute to the discussion. While some sessions may feature specific information regarding Aalto researchers, the fundamental principles presented are often universally applicable.

Join the conversation – we're excited to see you in the spring training sessions!
