About the TAFTIE-Academy

The TAFTIE-Academy was recently established for the sake of its member organisations. The aim is to improve skills of the staff and the quality of processes. Therefore a tailor-made programme (with trainings and workshops) will be set up. The portfolio of the TAFTIE-Academy will be complementary to the agency’s internal offer and should enable to learn e.g. about innovation policy and RTI programme management in tailored trainings. These activities will also support network building by bringing people together, exchange know-how, bundle experience, share good practices and experience the challenge of international work. They will also foster cooperation between agencies.

Speakers and trainers who apply for he "call for interest" must be experts in areas around innovation but should also have good rhetorical and didactical skills. Facilitators' skills should be mainly in facilitating but also having a certain expertise in innovation aspects. Good English is another requirement! A list of expertise required is provided in the on-line registration form.

There are four different Calls for Interest:

If you belong to the staff of a TAFTIE member organisation, please apply here: www.taftie-academy.org/trainers_internal
