VITAL Hub
Courses, mentoring and collaboration for the VITAL academic community.
A permanent home for training, mentoring and collaboration
The VITAL Hub is a digital platform serving as a permanent resource centre, course platform and networking hub for academics.
Developed as one of the project's core deliverables, the Hub will bring together the courses, mentoring tools and collaboration spaces co-created by the consortium - and it is built to endure beyond the funding period as a lasting home for the VITAL community.

Where VITAL training comes to life
The Hub is the digital home of the project's training activities. The leadership, digital pedagogy and peer-mentorship programmes developed in Work Package 3 will run through its courses and mentoring tools, while Work Package 4 brings research-capacity training and the Training of Trainers programme into its collaboration spaces.
Everything the consortium co-creates - frameworks, modules, mentoring resources - flows into the Hub, so that training delivered during the project keeps working for the community long after it ends.
