Weekly round-up #262
VALIDATE Workshop - Resources & Strategies for Improving your English - Online, 26 July 2023 at 15:00 BST
The VALIDATE Network has partnered with the Language Centre at the University of Oxford to organize an online workshop that will provide essential tips and resources to enhance English language skills for vaccine researchers. The "Resources & Strategies for Improving English" workshop will cover various online resources to help researchers develop their written and spoken English proficiency in the research setting. This is especially important as English is the language of global research, and proficiency in English is crucial for vaccine researchers to effectively communicate their findings to a worldwide audience. Don't miss this opportunity to improve your English language skills and enhance your research communication abilities!
