2. Perceived Training Needs Key findings: 1. 1. Science dissemination and search for funds Science dissemination and search for funds are the areas in which participants consistently perceive more training needs 2. 2. EU participants report higher needs in science dissemination EU participants report higher needs in science dissemination(similar trend for teaching ) 3. Participants from EAST EU report higher training needs in research , academic communication and search for funds . 4. Postgraduate members report higher training needs on service to the community and teaching 5. 5. Female participants perceive higher needs in "academic communication" Female participants perceive higher needs in "academic communication" (is this a reflection of gender differences in perceived self-efficacy or more difficulties in getting their work accepted in academic journals or conferences? Is this related to the pandemic penalty?)

3. Training options preferences Key findings: 1. Consistently with what was found on training needs the most selected option across all the participants are related to grant proposal writing and structuring (this is significantly more selected by females and EAST EU participants); social advocacy and communicating science to non-scientist are also highly selected (especially from WEST EU participants) 2. Among the research methods training proposed multilevel data analysis , big data analysis and longitudinal data analysis are more likely to be attended. These option are followed by qualitative methods (especially for participants of gender minority groups) 3. Post-graduate and EAST EU members are likely to attend also academic writing trainings.
