" A common challenge for educators is to set up scientific training that allow students to execute, in parallel, data and processing intensive experiments. Not all institutes have the capability and the resources to support these kind of courses. BlueBRIDGE offers a unique opportunity to professors and educators to set up VREs to run training sessions by exploiting the infrastrcture facilities." Neil Holdsworth, International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)

BlueBRIDGE has supported the instructors of all the below scientific training courses. Do you want to use BlueBRIDGE to run a scientific training at your institute? Please contact us at info@bluebridge-vres.eu
