We are pleased to announce that version v2.1 of the ENVRI Reference Model has been released. You can find it at the well-known url https://community.envri-fair.eu/rm. This version provides enhanced support for the requirements of the enlarged community of ENVRI Research Infrastructures as gathered during the Task 5.1 Requirements Collection and Analysis exercise (for more details, see the article from Alex Vermeulen summarizing the requirements collection); as well as many minor improvements as a result of comments received.
