The CORE Project's primary aim was advancing social/educational science researchers by cultivating their research skills and competencies to accelerate career progression, targeting the transition from First Stage to Recognized, and then to Established/Leading Researchers via tailored training outputs addressing methodological shortcomings. Specific objectives successfully pursued: Develop tools for First Stage Researchers to enhance skills/competencies, aiding careers and independence. Create resources for Recognized Researchers to improve project preparation, implementation, and evaluation skills, fostering collaboration and innovation. Address the existing methodology gap in social/educational science research. Raise awareness about challenges from insufficient training tools/methodology in HE research. Increase e-learning/blended learning opportunities via digital platforms. Ensure free access to Open Educational Resources for social/educational science research. Foster networks and synergy among partners. The project also supported the growing need for scientific methods (objective, evidence-based analyses) and aimed to address deficiencies in quantitative analysis education, complementing qualitative approaches.
