Learning and training by using RI facilities and services
This pathway focuses on the impacts that originate from the fact that an RI engages directly or indirectly with its users. In particular, it covers aspects related to user training i.e. transmission of knowledge and know-how from RI staff to users, training on the usage of specific equipment, tools, processes, methods etc., allowing them to (independently) access and benefit from the RI’s resources. It may also include feedback loops from users to RI managers and operators, to improve internal processes and expand the service offering and delivery based on user needs.
