About GLAD
GÉANT Learning & Development team (GLAD) is tasked with developing the skills and experience of GÉANT Project contributors. Each year, GLAD offers training programmes on diverse topics - from network security and threat identification through to presentation and public speaking skills. Wherever possible, training is extended to the whole GÉANT community so as to enrich the pool of talented contributors. Furthermore, the Future Talent Programme and Trust & Identity Mentoring (TIM) programmes foster the skills of the next generation.
In addition to its training programmes, GLAD offers a growing portfolio of online learning through its portal, eAcademy. In all these ways, GLAD contributes to GÉANT’s mission to advance European research, education and innovation.
