We are thrilled to announce this year's Editor's School, organized by the European Association of Science Editors (EASE). As with last year, the school is offered free of charge for Ukrainian editors, enabling a larger number to participate, learn best practices, and overcome current challenges, especially those posed by the war.

Members of the East European Law Research Center play an active role in organizing this School, actively participate in translating and disseminating module materials, and also moderate sections and discussions for Ukrainian editors.

The Ukrainian Chapter of EASE has translated the materials for each module, ensuring greater accessibility for Ukrainian editors. This eight-module online training course, designed by Pippa Smart from PSP Consulting, aims to help editors make their journals more visible, impactful, and engaging. Part I of the course will commence this April.

Course Details

The course is structured into two parts, with one module each week for four consecutive weeks. Each module includes a lecture by an experienced trainer, breakout sessions for group discussions on case studies, and a feedback session.

This training is particularly beneficial for early-career journal editors but is valuable for editors of all experience levels involved in managing or planning journals.
