\r\nIn recognition of the difficulties of distance learning, the organisers structured 40 hours of presence (including preparations) over a two-week period, with scheduled lectures and presentations in the mornings (09-11), followed by associated group and individual work time (11-12).

\r\nDr Karolina Pantazatou and Ida Storm also work at ICOS Carbon Portal, Lund University, as scientific programmer and project assistant. Their workshop on using GIS-tools and Python-programming and user friendly Jupyter notebooks that process and analyse ICOS data products, had students tweeting in delight: "What a great workspace to document (text, images, links), write code & visualize data - all open and shareable!";
\r\nInformatic engineers with the LifeWatch ERIC Service Centre in Lecce, Italy, Nicola Fiore and Lucia Vaira kicked off the second week with a presentation on the LifeWatch ERIC Metadata Catalogue, explaining the entire process behind the creation and publication of new resources and how to access them; and
\r\nDr Zhiming Zhao, assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam, used examples from the ENVRIplus and ENVRI-FAIR projects to illustrate how to develop and operate data management services in cloud environments, from running a legacy and native cloud applications, to automating their deployment. Students were able to practice on the cloud infrastructures at EOSC and LifeWatch.
\r\nThe final presentations allowed participants to demonstrate just how much they had learned in professional terms, but there was no sad good-bye at the end.

\r\n\r\nThis training session introduces ENVRI-Hub developers and ENVRI-Hub service owners to the concept of user personas, the definition of generative and evaluative user research, and their different scope. In the second part of the training session, a workshop-style exercise provided participants with practical tips on how to run a user interview and collect actionable insights.

The coordination of such different development workgroups requires continuous feedback and the support of collaborative work tools.The ENVRI-Hub NEXT consortium has therefore adopted a number of best practices from the Agile methodology, such as SCRUM, namely: 1) the usage of Jira, a ticketing system to track activities, issues, and requests; 2) the adoption Git, a distributed code versioning system; 3) the implementation of continuous integration, delivery, and deployment practices; and 4) the general adoption of brief and informal communication practices among workgroups.
\r\n\r\nTo support such practices, this video tutorial introduces project partners to the use of Jira.
