FAIR training material made by Design

In this course, you will learn from A to Z about how to design a FAIR training material. You will be challenged to work in a group to build a FAIR lesson on a topic to be presented at the end of the course. Come inspired! 

It is based on the FAIR training handbook from ELIXIR and 10 simple rules to make material FAIR publication. All sessions are structured to complement each other, aiming to introduce participants to a theoretical & hands-on approach to designing FAIR training material. 

Introduction to Research Data Management (RDM) in Life Sciences

Effective research data management (RDM) is more than just a compliance requirement - it's a practical tool that simplifies your workflow, strengthens your research, and enhances the impact of your publications. This training is designed to help researchers integrate RDM practices into their projects from the outset, always keeping the publication process in mind. 

 

Objectives

Introduction to Git & GitHub

This course is designed for researchers and support staff who are new to version control and want to adopt best practices for managing code and collaborating on scientific projects. As research becomes increasingly computational, using free tools like Git and GitHub is essential for tracking changes, ensuring reproducibility, and working efficiently in teams. In this hands-on session, you will learn how to set up Git, manage your project history, and collaborate using GitHub.

Reproducibility in practice

Join us to brainstorm the challenges and solutions of data analysis reproducibility. No matter your background or level of expertise, this is a great opportunity for exchange, improving critical thinking, problem-solving, and interaction with experts.

 

Objectives

  • Expand your way of thinking about data analysis reproducibility
  • Work on problem-solving of real cases
  • Improve critical thinking by discussing with colleagues
  • Networking opportunity
  • Data analysis reproducibility awareness

 

Nextflow for reproducible and automated data analysis

Are you a research staff member working with bioinformatics data? This hands-on training is designed to help you build scalable, reproducible data analysis pipelines using Nextflow. As data volumes grow and analyses become more complex, mastering workflow management tools is essential for ensuring reproducibility and efficiency. 

 

Objectives

Train the trainer

This training equips early-career educators and researchers — particularly those in bioinformatics and life sciences — with essential skills to design and deliver effective, engaging training sessions. 
Aimed at first-time trainers, postdocs, and academic staff involved in teaching, the course introduces 

Empowering users: orchestrating sensitive data access for interactive federated analysis in virtual research environments

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2026

This study seeks to establish a mechanism for orchestrating secure access to data hosted in EGA, whether in its central instance or any federated nodes, from a Galaxy instance. To guarantee the proper management of sensitive data, data will be encrypted at any time, with decryption occurring solely during analysis within the secure compute backend. The ultimate goal of this study is to generate encrypted data result outputs exclusively accessible to end-users within the Galaxy user interface. 

OHDSI Europe ‘25 Symposium

5-7 July 2025
Old Prison-Hasselt University, Martelarenlaan 42, Hasselt

This year’s OHDSI Europe Symposium will bring together over 300 researchers, data scientists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers for an outstanding opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to the expanding OHDSI Europe community.

The program includes:

ELIXIR Research Data Management Community f2f and DATAREX meeting

22-24 September 2025
Het Rustpunt, Burgstraat 110-116, Ghent

The ELIXIR RDM Community is coming together for a hybrid face-to-face meeting in Ghent, Belgium, to reflect on recent achievements and shape the path ahead for research data management across Nodes and ELIXIR platforms.

This event features:

Antwerp T-cell Repertoire (ATCR) Meeting 2025

27-28 May 2025
Stadscampus University of Antwerp, Hof van Liere convention centre, Prinsstraat 13, Antwerp

The ATCR Meeting brings together scientists, clinicians, and industry leaders to explore the latest in T-cell research, with a focus on high-throughput sequencing technologies. These powerful tools have become essential for uncovering new insights into the human immune system, particularly the pivotal role of T-cells in infectious diseases, vaccine development, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.
