You can consult all the sessions and formalize your prior registration through this link. The first time you access it, you will be asked to validate yourself in SABiDi with your university credentials. From here, you can choose the session or sessions of your interest. Use the URV institutional email when filling out the registration form. Once formalized, you will receive a confirmation email that you must save because it contains the link to access the session on the indicated day and time. Check your spam folder if you have not received it.

All users who take the courses and answer 100% of all the online questions that will be asked live throughout the session will receive a satisfaction survey by email and, a few weeks later, the certificate of attendance.

You can also download the recorded sessions and training material from other courses on Web of Science and also on Scopus.
