A group of researchers from a developing country are participating in an international research project focused on climate change impacts on biodiversity.

The project partners introduce them to D4Science, recognizing its potential as a capacity-building tool.

• D4Science provides the researchers with access to a wealth of resources and expertise through a dedicated VRE tailored to the project's specific needs. This VRE provides a collaborative environment where researchers can work together, share knowledge, and learn from each other and more experienced colleagues from other institutions participating in the project.
• Through D4Science's JupyterLab and RStudio services, the researchers gain hands-on experience with essential data science tools. They can participate in online tutorials and workshops delivered through the VRE, guided by experts in the field. These training resources, combined with access to pre-installed libraries and packages relevant to their research, allow them to develop their data analysis skills and apply them to the project's data.
• The CCP empowers the researchers to execute complex analytical workflows involving large datasets, overcoming the limitations of their local computing infrastructure. They can access and process climate and biodiversity data from various sources, including global repositories, through the D4Science Catalogue, simplifying data acquisition and management.
• D4Science's emphasis on open science practices encourages researchers to document their methods, share their findings, and publish their results, contributing to the global knowledge base. The VRE facilitates collaboration with researchers from developed countries, enabling knowledge transfer and fostering international partnerships. The researchers from developing countries can use the VRE’s communication tools to engage in discussions, seek clarification on technical aspects, and share their insights with the broader research community.
