Considering methodology as a core scientific landmark, this paper presents the framework of the RESET-Francophone project. A training project in research education, which in the long run aims at contributing to the training of the next generation of researchers in (digital) education in the Francophone region. This endeavour can be achieved through capacity building in the form of an international community of scholars and the creation of local expertise hubs.
