Nature Masterclasses offers free online training to researchers in lower income countries
Nature Masterclasses has partnered with Research4Life to offer free online training for researchers in lower income countries.
Nature Masterclasses
Nature Masterclasses, part of Springer Nature’s researcher training offering, provides world-class online training to build the skills and confidence of early career researchers. Topics covered range from persuasive grant writing, scientific writing and publishing, to data analysis, presentations, and more. The courses are delivered by editors from across the Nature Portfolio of journals, as well as experienced researchers, funders and professionals.
Research4Life
Research4Life offers no-cost or low-fee access to research in low and middle-income countries. The initiative invests in education and scientific research in places where it’s needed, but where people may not be able to afford it. Springer Nature are both founders of Research4Life, and inaugural donors to the Friends of Research4Life programme.
Free access to Nature Masterclasses
We’re delighted to announce that all Nature Masterclasses training that was previously behind a paywall will now be available for researchers in registered institutions in lower income countries through Research4Life.
To see who’s eligible, and for instructions on gaining access, please visit the Nature Masterclasses website here.
The driving motivation behind Nature Masterclasses is to support researchers to develop their careers and to navigate the research process, helping them strategically plan, execute and disseminate their work. We want to help level the playing field for researchers from lower income countries by widening access to these resources, offering key insights from Nature Portfolio journal editors and other global experts.
