7th CRG Awards for Training Technicians

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2024 editions of the CRG Awards for Training Technicians (Spring and Autumn calls), an initiative by the CRG to enhance and promote the high-quality training of the technician’s community.

The CRG is committed to strengthen and promote high-quality training for technicians, in the laboratories and at core technologies. This call aims to provide the CRG technicians with additional opportunities to undertake training in the form of courses or workshops that are essential to their professional development and are NOT available within the CRG or PRBB Intervals and BIST training portfolio.
