Training
Intersect Australia offers hands-on training tailored to researchers and higher-degree research (HDR) students, covering a wide range of research-relevant digital tools and technologies, such as Excel, Python, R, SPSS, NVivo, Qualtrics, etc. These courses are available at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
All UNE staff and students can access the training sessions for free. Additionally, you are welcome to participate in training offered at other Intersect member universities. For details on Intersect training courses across all member universities, visit Intersect Training Schedule for upcoming courses and contact us with the exact course date and place via e-mail. The DRA will be able to find you a spot, provided free spots are available. Note that priority will be given to local researchers at the host university.
Intersect Australia also offers Research Technology Webinar Series. The webinars are designed to raise awareness and introduce research tools/technologies in order to enhance the uptake of these tools by researchers from various domains and disciplines. They also serve as preparation for introductory training courses in areas such as high-performance computing and programming.
