Social Media coordinator Sofiia Shunkina participated in the COST Academy Young Researcher Training at the COST Association office in Brussels on 2–3 September 2025, representing the CODE YAA project (Palliative Care Education Action).
The training brought together around 40 young researchers from across the world to network, share experiences, and develop new skills. It focused on supporting early-career researchers, facilitating knowledge exchange within COST Actions, and promoting professional development.
COST Academy actively supports young researchers by providing opportunities to participate in trainings and projects, share ideas, and connect with international colleagues. Participants in the trainings can:
-
Gain new knowledge and research opportunities
-
Establish connections with peers and like-minded professionals
-
Present their work and increase visibility
-
Receive guidance and support for research and project activities
-
Find inspiration and new perspectives for personal and professional growth
COST Academy trainings contribute to the professional development of young researchers and strengthen international collaboration, as part of the broader CODE YAA project aimed at improving quality indicators for palliative care education.
