The [ELIXIR TeSS](https://tess.elixir-europe.org/) portal, the training registry for Europe's distributed infrastructure for life-science data, is built using the TeSS Platform.

Event
An event in TeSS is a link to a single training event sourced by a provider along with description and other meta information (e.g. date, location, audience, ontological categorization, keywords).

## ORCID for accurately recognising authors of training materials

Training materials in TeSS can be attributed to any number of authors (for substantial input) and contributors (for a smaller level of input).
When the author or contributor is a person, their ORCID can be included.

::::{grid} 1 1 2 2
:gutter: 3

:::{grid-item-card}
:link: https://orcid.org/
{fas}`id-badge;sd-text-secondary` **ORCID**
^^^

This free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) allows individuals to be uniquely distinguished and claim credit for their scholarship work, no matter how many people have a similar name.
:::
::::

When you [manually edit your training material in TeSS](../content/manual-events-materials), as you type the name of each author or contributor, TeSS will suggest a name and ORCID. If you are entering this person for the first time, paste their ORCID in the box after their name.
If your training material is [automatically ingested into TeSS](../content/structured-data-types), you can add the ORCID URL of each person into the Bioschemas markup under the `@id` or `identifier` property (either property will work). For example:

```json
{
"author": [
{
"@type": "Person",
"name": "Daniela Schneider",
"identifier": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9536-5587",
