LIFE+IMAGINE Training framework
Training is be implemented through an open source e-learning platform.
This platform will offer a training package based on specific and thematic vocational training curricula aiming at maximising the re-use of existing tools and training materials successfully tested in the frame of previous EU funded projects.
Training impact
Our training modules provide to the target audience of LIFE-IMAGINE the advanced skills required to cope with the INSPIRE implementation process and the documentation and the necessary means to interact, benefit and adopt the LIFE-IMAGINE Infrastructure.

Background Knowledge
Introduction to INSPIRE
The aim of this module is to introduce the INSPIRE Directive, its background, development and expected impact.
Module metadata Access the ModuleBasics of INSPIRE Data Specification
The module aims to teach participants on the INSPIRE data specification development approach. The module explains the standardized approach, the different interoperability components to be taken into account and how this was implemented in INSPIRE. The different steps are described in detail and illustrated with examples in the field of biodiversity. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are part of the module in order illustrate the method and test it on some use cases.
Module metadata Access the ModuleBasics of INSPIRE Network Services
The module introduces the concept of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It describes and illustrates the 5 types of INSPIRE network services (discovery, view, download, transformation and invoking). It explains the link to existing standards of ISO and OGC (e.g. CSW) and also discusses the INSPIRE implementing rules that are applicable including conformity aspects.
Module metadata Access the ModuleData Harmonisaton
This module explains the basic concepts of data harmonisation in general and specifically schema translation.
Module metadata Access the ModuleProcedures for Data and Metadata Harmonisation
This Module explains how to transform heterogeneous source datasets and metadata according to the relevant INSPIRE target schemas.
Module metadata Access the ModuleExamples of data transformation
This module provides transformation examples of a source dataset into a dataset compliant to the INSPIRE Data Specifications.
Module metadata Access the ModuleMetadata and data validation for INSPIRE
This module provides validation examples of datasets and metadata against the Requirements of the INSPIRE Data Specifications.
Module metadata Access the ModuleTowards the ICT implementation of SEIS
The module introduces to the SEIS requirements as defined in the NESIS project, to proposed SEIS ICT Components and to the available options of the ICT services that are proposed for the SEIS Implementation. Issues regarding the relationship between SEIS and INSPIRE as well as the SEIS specificity are also provided.
Module metadata Access the ModuleCopernicus
The module is addressed to listeners non technical professionals needing to have a comprehensive introduction to Copernicus aim and contents. It is of use to get a first view of the project, able to direct users to further readings and more operational training as needed.

Thematic Knowledge
Risk Management
This module is based on the state of the art, main strategies and knowledge on Risk Management, reporting relevant international standards and practical experiences.
Module metadata Access the ModuleGeological Data Harmonization
The Module is focused on: Spatial data definition; it refers to specific definition of geological data into INSPIRE directive and OGC GeoSciML standard. Harmonisation issues across political boundaries; it refers to evidence problems and solutions in the cross-border area.

The LIFE+IMAGINE infrastructure
The LIFE+IMAGINE Architecture
The objective of this training module is to define clearly the details of LIFE+IMAGINE system architecture, the set of components that are available to support the stakeholders from the initial (harmonization and manipulation of original data) to the ending (visualization of data according with INSPIRE directive) phase.
Module metadata Access the ModuleThe LIFE+IMAGINE web services
The purpose of this module is to support Professionals and End Users, who will be interfacing directly with the LIFE+IMAGINE platform, in understanding how the services work and taking the best advantage from them.

Scenarios Application and Use Cases
Soil Consumption calculation and its application at national/municipal level
The module is addressed to listeners needing to understand how the LIFE+IMAGINE project has coped with the questions posed by the Soil Consumption scenario, in order to create a knowledge frame able to support the policies for the coastal environment and for the coastal regional/urban planning. The main aim is to transfer the project experience to new cases and to further users.
Module metadata Access the Module Landslides impact assessment and specific applications
The module is addressed to listeners needing to understand how the LIFE+IMAGINE project has coped with the questions posed by the Landslides scenario to create a knowledge frame able to support environmental coastal policies. Aim is to transfer the project experience to new cases and to further users.
Module metadata Access the ModuleIntegrated Coastal Zone Management and the coastal sediment balance
The course organises the main results of action relate to Integrated Coastal Management, taking in account mainly the sediment budget analysis along a specific physiographic unit, in order to let them exploitable to a larger audience of users.
