What is ResearchComp?
ResearchComp is a tool that helps
- researchers assess and develop their own transversal skills
- higher education institutions and training providers adapt their offer to researchers
- employers to be aware of the wide set of competences of researchers
Who can benefit from ResearchComp?
ResarchComp establishes a common language and a common understanding of researchers’ transversal competences, and it can be used, on a voluntary basis, by a variety of stakeholders.
- researchers can identify the competences that can foster interoperable careers in relevant socio-economic sectors, and will be able to assess which ones they already master and with what proficiency level, and which ones deserve additional efforts, with clear benefits for their career and employability
- universities, research organisations, and training providers can develop or adapt their training offer in order to equip researchers with the right transversal competences from the outset or through targeted training opportunities, with a lifelong learning perspective
- employers will be aware of the competences researchers can offer which will facilitate their search for highly-skilled talents
- policy makers can monitor researchers’ competences better, and can develop targeted policies in support of inter-sectorally mobile researchers
