By creating a user-friendly digital platform, SPLASH seeks to raise awareness and recognition of training efforts and ensure sustainable, high-quality training practices. The objective is to enhance accessibility and ensure the long-term impact of ETrP resources by creating a "one-stop-shop" platform. The problem addressed is the dispersion of training resources across various channels, making it difficult to maintain a comprehensive and consistent training approach. The project has been kickstarted at the BioHackathon 2023 - project 34. Milestone M2.9 marks the public launch of the ELIXIR SPLASH project website, a centralized digital resource showcasing the diverse training products and resources developed by the ELIXIR Training Platform (ETrP). The milestone was successfully achieved following several discussions and workshops with the Training Platform and Training Coordinators. Key meetings included the WP2 monthly meetings, SPLASH review meetings, and joint content/technical meetings. The content of the Training Lifecycle stages and relevant ELIXIR resources, such as the ELIXIR-GOBLET Train-the-Trainer programme, Learning Paths project, and FAIR training project, are now displayed on the SPLASH website. Future workshops are planned to develop checklists for each stage of the training lifecycle and add new relevant resources. By centralizing these resources, the SPLASH project ensures that training is not only accessible but also adheres to the highest educational standards, fostering sustainable and impactful training programs in the life sciences. Outcomes and Impacts of the milestone Milestone M2.9 Training SPLASH website made public is part of the SPLASH project. Cornerstones for this milestone were the completion of several other milestones following an editorial meeting of the SPLASH editorial team on December 18th, 2024 (see M3.1 Consolidate the key components of the ELIXIR Training lifecycle by discussions with Training Excos and Training Coordinators, see M3.4 Editorial review and feedback of the different documentation and pages on Training SPLASH for content consistency in each page, see M3.2 Create editorial guidelines and template for each component of the training life cycle to follow for content consistency in each page.
