2. FAIRify training materials and courses

   Task Force 2 will develop FAIR metrics for training resources and evaluate ELIXIR training resources according to these metrics. It will improve the FAIRness of existing resources and make training more findable in TeSS, ELIXIR's registry of training courses and materials.
