<span style="color: #BBCE00">Analysis of Common Requirements</span>

The ENVRI Reference Model is originally based on a pre-study of 6 ESFRI Environmental Research Infrastructures (RI), carried out as part of the ENVRI project. It has been updated during the ENVRIplus project from the results of a study of these original 6 and a further 13 RIs. The reports of these studies can be downloaded as follows:

== <span style="color: #BBCE00">Learning Materials</span> ==

A new series of courses has been designe to introduce the ENVRI RM. This includes lessons target to RI personal, developers and decision makers. This courses are delivered in the ENVRI community [https://training.envri.eu/ '''training platform'''] deployed and maintained by LifeWatch Italy / University of Salento on behalf of the ENVRI Community. 

=== <span style="color: #BBCE00">Available Courses</span> ===

'''<span style="color: #BBCE00">Practical Introduction to the ENVRI RM</span>'''

This course is structured in 9 lessons. The course provides a introduction to the main concepts of the ENVRI Reference Model and its 3 logical viewpoints, Science Viewpoint, Information Viewpoint and Computational Viewpoint. The material is present in the context of a real life use case. This is an introductory level course for systems engineers. Access the course on the [https://training.envri.eu/course/view.php?id=9 '''ENVRI community training platform'''].

=== <span style="color: #BBCE00">Courses Under Development</span> ===

'''<span style="color: #BBCE00">Practical Introduction to the ENVRI RM - Update</span>'''

An update of the practical introduction course which will include materials for explaining the use of the Technology and Engineering Viewpoint (4 new lessons) 

'''<span style="color: #BBCE00">The Reference Model approach and the value of modelling</span>'''

This course will contain 10 lessons. The course covers the importance of thinking about becoming involved with the ENVRI RM. This is an introductory level course that would benefit those thinking of becoming familiar with the RM, and those supervising staff in that position.

'''Note'''<br>
The guidelines for using the ENVRI RM are based on version 1.1, some of the information they contain may differ with respect to the current version of the ENVRI RM, however they are still relevant because they present practical examples of using the ENVRI RM for different purposes (they are included in [[:Category:Appendix D Guidlines for using the Reference Model|'''Appendix D''']]).</p>
