D2.2 Final version of PATTERN new curriculum

The final deliverable D2.2 – Final Version of PATTERN’s New Curriculum documents how the project’s training offer evolved from the initial needs analysis in D1.1 into a mature, evidence‑driven programme. D 1.1 mapped existing Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation training and identified gaps and needs across the eight PATTERN transferable skills — Open Access, FAIR Research Data Management, Citizen Science, Research Integrity, Gender/Non‑Discrimination & Inclusion, Dissemination & Exploitation of Results, Science Communication, and Mental Health & Leadership — providing the baseline for curriculum design. Based on this evidence, Learning Cycle 1 (LC1) tested initial modules through pilots and feedback loops via Train the Trainers sessions, revealing the need for stronger progression and cross‑thematic integration. Learning Cycle 2 (LC2) addressed these gaps by consolidating modules into an integrated curriculum, aligning them with the ResearchComp framework and refining the content through evaluation results, co‑creation with pilot institutions, and the introduction of self‑paced and blended formats. By the end of LC2, the curriculum had become a coherent, modular and reusable framework that responds to the needs identified in D 1.1 and the lessons learned from LC1. Methodologically, the final curriculum introduces four structured learning paths— Participation, Inclusion & Wellbeing (23 lessons); Communication, Dissemination & Data (15); Research Ethics & Integrity (4); Open Access & Scholarly Publishing (2) —each sequenced to support learners from foundational knowledge to advanced practices. These paths are organised around learner personas, such as Researchers (R1–R4), Research Managers and careers beyond academia, ensuring that early‑career researchers, established academics, research enablers and trainers can follow tailored trajectories within or beyond academia. LC2 emphasises active and applied learning through case studies, project‑based assignments and problem‑based scenarios, alongside a train‑the‑trainer model that supports local adaptation and sustainability. The curriculum is delivered via a digital ecosystem combining OpenPlato for self‑paced modules, the Projects platform for collaborative assignments and evaluation, and institutional partnerships for hybrid and in‑person sessions. This ecosystem ensures that materials are FAIR‑compliant, SCORM‑enabled and integrated with evaluation and personalized certification delivery. Overall, D2.2 presents a concise yet versatile curriculum that is ready for deployment across diverse institutions and learner types. It moves beyond one‑off training events by offering modular, interoperable courses that can be reused, adapted and combined according to local needs. The curriculum’s focus on transferable skills and competencies promotes researcher growth, professional adaptability and alignment with European Open Science and RRI policies. By incorporating self‑paced learning, synchronous workshops, blended bootcamps and cross‑institutional collaboration, the programme offers flexible learning pathways that accommodate different preferences and time constraints. Through this approach, PATTERN provides a scalable training infrastructure that supports continuous capacity‑building, fosters community engagement and embeds open and responsible research practices into the European research ecosystem. **This version of the document is still under approval of the EC.
