This document discusses how the BlueBRIDGE project supports open science skills building through virtual research environments. It outlines the challenges of integrating scattered data and tools for educational courses. BlueBRIDGE addresses these challenges by automatically creating tailored environments for each course that integrate various data processing services and models. This enables collaborative research and experimentation while managing access policies and reproducibility. BlueBRIDGE closes the gap between scientific and educational environments and promotes open science practices.
