This deliverable provides a summary of the training activities of FORTH researchers and the objectives achieved in the DYNASTY project from Month 1 to Month 18, specifically focusing on Work Package 2 and 3 (WP2 & 3).

Training activities have been designed to exploit the complementary expertise of the partners, and also tailored taking into account the potentials of the visiting PhD students and post-docs and the host, with the goal to maximise the impact of the activities. Comprehensive trainings have taken place e.g., seminars, workshops, workplace tour or invitation to stakeholders networking events, and have been offering a highly scalable approach that enables the DYNASTY partners to rapidly identify, build, and sustain the targeted capabilities needed to continuously improve performance and deliver impact.
