Members of the project team participated in a professional training programme in statistics and research methodology aimed at strengthening the analytical competencies required for the effective implementation of project activities, data analysis, and the interpretation of research findings.
The training programme covered a range of topics reflecting current trends in scientific research and statistical data analysis, with an emphasis on developing a conceptual understanding of statistics and research methodology, as well as their practical application in the analysis of research data.
During the training programme, the following topics were covered:
- fundamentals and contemporary trends in scientific research
