Training Session on Medical Resources Available for Trial

Friday, 9 October 2026, 10:00 a.m.–11:30 a.m.

Ovid, in collaboration with BUD – the University Digital Library, has organised a training session for Friday, 9 October, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to introduce the medical and scientific resources available on a trial basis to the UniTrento university community. The session is intended to help interested users make the most of these resources during the evaluation period. The resources will be available from 1 to 31 October 2026.

The session will have a practical focus. For each resource, the main content, access methods and potential applications in research, teaching and clinical practice will be presented.
