The CISE Team successfully completed the second remote training course for Node Administrators. Twenty participants from eight different countries and two agencies attended the two day training exercise that took place on the 24^th and 25^th November 2020.

As was done for the first Node Administrator training held in July, the CISE technical team re-created a test version of the CISE environment with 9 test nodes so that participants could carry out the exercises hands-on during the training. The two trainers, one from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) and one from EMSA, assisted participants to successfully exchange information between the test nodes. The topics covered during the two days included an introduction to the CISE Node architecture, managing the node, as well as managing the services. Node maintenance and troubleshooting were also addressed.

In addition to being an opportunity to share technical information, these types of training events also serve to connect Node Administrators from different member states and to build a network through which best practices and problem solving approaches can be shared. The CISE team looks forward to creating many more opportunities of this kind.
