The courses will be incorporated in the on-course® course database (http://www.on-course.eu) and then be used as the basis of systematic gap analyses. The on-course® team is proud to be part of the RItrain project and to support the realisation of its goals.
RItrain is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research funding programme under the topic of INFRASUPP-3-2014.
