3. Outcome and work of Phase 1
Phase 1 will result in a catalogue of common Nordic course material as well as a plan for the development of missing courses
In order to achieve this, we need to:
Identify categories of research questions based on digital object types as well as research methodologies
Identify relevant competences in relation to these
Identify already existing courses to support the competence development
Identify gaps and describe the content of required new courses
Identify sustainability models for the course material
