- Negotiation Skills (30 August – 1 September)
- Leadership and Team Mobilization (6 – 8 September)
- Stakeholder Engagement (13 – 15 September)
- Cross-Cultural Communication (20 – 22 September)
All e-workshops will take place at 13.00 – 17.00 CEST (UTC +2 / GMT+2).

The online certificate is aimed at introducing its concept to the wider public and raising awareness around the selected topics. The registration will be open to the public and participants will be admitted upon selection.
