The maintenance aspects also caused us to refactor our ELN in 2021. Version 1 had been written in 2006 and based on locally written code using the php language, but this has now been replaced with Version 2 called CHAMP (Figure ) as based on a toolkit written in the more future-proof python language that had been published a year or so earlier, and where the design philosophy was similar to our original ELN. 7 The improvements include better search features for filtering experiments, inspection of job outputs in real time, the ability to construct a user profile which allows e.g. resources provided by funded projects to be used and includes the ability to publish using repositories such as Zenodo. CHAMP has already been used for student research projects, proving particularly convenient for both researchers and students during the COVID19 lockdowns. 31
