The current COVID-19 period requires to find and use a new approach to education, including stress on individualized learning and training as well as the implementation of distance (remote) methods. This challenge follows Rosie and CentraLab projects which were focused on education and training, including the development of smart catalogues.

The goal of this challenge is to create a tool (database and an interface for users) supporting access and orientation in various web resources. We focus on the EBAG domain, which covers issues related to ecology, bioscience, agriculture and geosciences. The developed tool will be used as a resource of free materials as well as for inspiration and potential networking.

• The challenge includes the following tasks:
• To create and test the structure (model) of the database
• To populate the database
• To check existing web tools working as catalogues with users’ data
• To integrate database and catalogue tool
• To develop or modify a web application for working with data (if it will be necessary)
