The [[EGI-Engage:Main_Page | EGI-Engage project]] (task SA2.1) provides foundational training services and coordination to training activities across the whole EGI collaboration. The main goal of this activity is to operate a framework that enables members of EGI community as well as external partners to effectively create, deliver, share, reuse and benefit from training services in the context of e-infrastructures and e-science. The prime objective is to provide ‘glue’ and also facilitation for training activities conducted by Competence Centres, National Grid Initiatives and partner projects (including e-infrastructure and Research Infrastructures), maximising the effectiveness and impact of training across countries and communities. This is achieved by providing a training e-infrastructure, data, software and other online resources, modules, a marketplace and webinar tools for trainers and trainees, and by organising and contributing to the organisation of high-impact training events.
The role of EGI training is to facilitate the uptake of [https://www.egi.eu/services/ EGI services] by scientific communities within research and academia. The main activities of EGI training are:

= Events =  
The [http://training.egi.eu EGI Training Marketplace] is an online registry to advertise and to view (browse and search) training events, Webinars, Training materials, Training resources and University Degrees that relate to EGI or to e-science. The service supports cooperation between trainers and trainees in different localities and projects by connecting the groups through the stored items that are advertised in the Training. The Training Marketplace is typically used together with the EGI Document Database (http://documents.egi.eu) where files (training presentations, tutorial documents, etc.) are stored and then indexed from the Marketplace. The Training Marketplace offers Web gadgets for integration with third party websites. This facility is suitable e.g. to embed a listing of training materials into an NGI website. The Training Marketplace also provides commenting and content validation facility on each stored item:  
* Training events (future and past) are listed in the INDIGO system: https://indico.egi.eu/indico/category/114/
* Any user (after registration and login) can leave a comment on a registered item.  
* Upcoming events are also published on the EGI Website: : https://www.egi.eu/events/egi-training-events/
* The user who registers an item can re-validate the item on a regular basis (e.g. once a year), indicating to those who browse the item that it’s still up-to-date and valid.  
* Webinars: Further information about webinars with guest presenters is available at https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_Webinar_Programme.

Goals and tasks of EGI training

The role of EGI training is to facilitate the uptake of EGI services by scientific communities within research and academia. The main activities of EGI training are:

  • Operate a training programme through which members of EGI community as well as external partners can create, deliver, share, reuse and contribute with training content and events. The programme provides ‘glue’ and also facilitation for training activities conducted by Competence Centres, NGIs and partner projects (including e-infrastructure and Research Infrastructures), maximising the effectiveness and impact of training across countries and communities.
  • Provisioning of a cloud based training e-infrastructure for both e-infrastructure training and domain (science discipline/project) specific training events
  • Organising, delivering and contributing to the organisation of high-impact training events.

EGI training coordination and training activities are funded in various H2020 projects, primarily EGI-Engage, ENVRIplus. In the EGI-Engage project EGI.eu prepared a Deliverable, titled training pla, covering the March 2016-Feb 2017: https://documents.egi.eu/document/2810. The agendas of training coordination teleconferences for EGI-Engage training task members are here: http://indico.egi.eu/indico/categoryDisplay.py?categId=148

Training infrastructure

The EGI community operates a cloud based infrastructure for training. The infrastructure can host Virtual Machines and datasets for hands-on exercises. The infrastructure can be booked by any training for face-to-face or online events, demonstrations, Webinars and self-paced learning courses. The infrastructure is open also for non-EGI members.
