Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of good scientific practices to ensure their work is trustworthy; but also of the effect that research culture has on those practices.

These are based on the lessons learned through our 20-year experience with a blended compulsory course for PhD students in a public university in Barcelona.
