Research training includes departmental, research and training seminars, academic writing and interdisciplinary skills courses, conferences, workshops, and digital tools for academic research. Historical fieldwork is supported through contributions toward research trips or international conference participation. Researchers may also join or establish working groups for peer learning and discussion.
