Training Activities by Competence
The Professional Competence Model for UAB Researchers distinguishes six domains that gather 22 descriptors. The Model is based on the list of transferable skills defined by the European Science Foundation [ESF] (2009), which OECD (2012) assembled into 6 categories, and other models like the Researcher Development Framework of the United Kingdom (VITAE, 2011).

At the beginning of 2023, the European Commission presented the European Competence Framework for Researchers, a new model that differentiates 7 competence areas and 38 competences for which they define 4 levels (basic, intermediate, advanced and expert). The UAB model will progressively adapt to this new classification.
The new competency model proposed by the Eropean Comission can be consulted at this link.
