About BlueBRIDGE and i-Marine
This web page was an access point to a number of Virtual Research Environments deployed and operated in the context of the BlueBRIDGE project, which overall objective was to support capacity building in interdisciplinary research communities actively involved in increasing scientific knowledge about resource overexploitation, degraded environment and ecosystem with the aim of providing a more solid ground for informed advice to competent authorities and to enlarge the spectrum of growth opportunities as addressed by the Blue Growth Societal Challenge.
This BlueBRIDGE gateway has served more than 2.500 users. These users will be supported thanks to the iMarine initiative, which was launched in 2015 to establish and operate an e-infrastructure supporting the principles of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management and conservation of marine living resources, and it ultimately aims at supporting FAO's Blue Growth Initiative.

BlueBRIDGE for Scientific training support allowing scientific training courses to be developed and delivered in a cost-effective way. .
These VREs were conceived to support a number of ICES training courses performed by ICES, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea in Denmark. These VREs were equipped with the following facilities:
- Workspace: for sharing objects of interest;
- Social networking area: for supporting the discussions among members;
- R Studio as-a-Service: a facility enabling users to access a fully-fledged RStudio® working environment directly from the VRE. This environment is integrated with the rest of VRE\VLab facilities, e.g. it is possible to use files from the workspace and to store new files into the workspace.
