Training e-Support Service (TeSS)

TeSS is a platform that was developed to provide a one-stop shop for trainers and trainees to discover online information and content, including training materials, events and interactive tutorials. For training providers, TeSS provides opportunities to promote training events and news, and to contribute to a growing catalogue of materials; for trainers, the portal offers an environment for sharing materials and event information; for trainees, it offers a convenient gateway via which to identify relevant training events and resources, and to perform specific, guided analysis tasks via customised training workflows.

The mTeSS-X Project (Multi-space Training e-Support System with eXchange) overcomes the fragmentation of training resources across Research Infrastructures and the European Science Clusters. The project aims to enhance existing TeSS-based training registries or catalogues like ELIXIR TeSS (life sciences) and PaN-Training (photon and neutron) by building an aggregator for these and similar platforms.

Scaling training portal federation for RIs through Multi-tenanting and Exchange

To overcome fragmentation of training resources across Research Infrastructures (RIs) and the Science Clusters, the mTeSS-X project aims to enhance the existing ELIXIR TeSS platform — to build an aggregator for training portals like ELIXIR TeSS and PaNOSC training portals — to natively support federation.

Such a fully-featured open-source multi-tenanted training platform is expected to be an innovation for building a federation of portals to:

• help break down barriers between thematic communities,
• promote a more cohesive European research community,
• and promote FAIR and open training.

The project strives to support the federation of training catalogues using a multi-tenancy approach, and enabling cross-instance content exchange. This will allow RIs and their communities to maintain tailored catalogues with distinct identities, while simultaneously benefiting from a shared global pool of resources.
