DESSIN meetings in Denmark

DESSIN partner DHI provided and hosted a MIKE Workbench training to DESSIN partners from 25.-27. of April and a software requirements meeting on the 28. -29. of April at DHI’s offices in Hørsholm, Denmark.

Participants of the training in the use of the software MIKE Workbench included demo site partners (SINTEF, KWR, EG, Cetaqua and NTUA), mature site partners (Cetaqua and EG) and software requirements partners (ECOLOGIC and SINTEF). Participants received training across a spectrum of MIKE Workbench functionalities with a focus on how the software can be used to carry out ecosystem services and sustainability assessments. The training focused on a real-world case study from one of the DESSIN mature sites. Software requirements partners (DHI, ECOLOGIC and SINTEF) also used the training as an opportunity to obtain feedback from the demo site partners on how the existing MIKE Workbench software may be enhanced to meet their needs.

On the 28.-29. of April DHI met with DESSIN partners for a software requirements meeting to begin work on the elicitation and development of formal requirements to enhance the existing MIKE Workbench software. The software will be enhanced to support implementation of the DESSIN ecosystem service assessment and sustainability assessment methodologies. The meeting was attended by software requirements partners including ECOLOGIC, SINTEF, and IWW. The partners received training in the elicitation and development of software requirements and began work on them. The work will continue over the next two months in collaboration with the DESSIN demo site partners.
