In continuation of its role in promoting science and technology in the region, the Center for Special Studies and Programs (CSSP) in collaboration with the Educational Section of the Information Services Department in the Library Sector supports the young researchers who undertake scientific research by organizing the "Researchers Guidelines Training Program: Basic Skills".

The Basic Skills Program offers fundamental training for researchers in order to assist them in taking the first step in their scientific career. During the Basic Skills Workshop, researchers will learn how to use the latest tools and evidence-based approaches in the development of their research content.

In addition, they will know how to refer to previous scientific work to validate their experimental procedures and theses, and how to refer to the most reliable databases and e-resources to extract scientific data.
