1. ELIXIR UK TeSS Training Portal
TeSS (Training eSupport System) is a portal for disseminating, discovering and packaging training resources, aggregating information from ELIXIR Nodes and 3rd-party providers. The platform acts as a ‘department store’, where its ‘departments’ (ELIXIR Nodes) promote their latest news and events, and contribute to its catalogue of training materials. The catalogue may be navigated via ‘training workflows’ or relevant materials collected into bespoke training ‘packages’.

Training resources, news and events specific for ELIXIR Nodes
TeSS aims to provide an at-a-glance view of the ELIXIR training landscape, while also offering individual ’shop windows’, giving customisable views of the hottest training news, events, activity highlights, etc. from ELXIR nodes, as well as a more general view of training materials from selected non-ELIXIR providers.
Linking Up With Other ELIXIR Nodes
Training materials can be linked to relevant services, datasets and tools from ELIXIR Denmark’s Tools and Data Services Registry, Web services from ELIXIR UK’s BioCatalogue and data policies and standards from ELIXIR UK’s BioSharing.
