Introduction to Docker, Singularity and Nextflow for industry

On request of and in collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceutica, ELIXIR Belgium and the VIB Bioinformatics core organized a workshop series on Docker, Singularity and Nextflow. In three afternoon sessions (13/11, 20/11, 4/12 2020), topics as version control, software containers and workflow pipeline tools were tackled. Participants of Janssen Pharmaceutica learned about containerization of bioinformatics tools and environments using Docker and Singularity, as well as how to apply them in their research.

Research Data Management in Life Sciences

This two-day course will help researchers to develop their knowledge and practical skills in handling and managing their research data. The participants will be guided through the key aspects on how to document, store and safeguard research data. Planning and implementing good data management in research projects in accordance to current best practices will also be addressed. More information.

Introduction to Git and Github

This workshop will take you through the basic use of Git and GitHub. Git is a free and open source distributed version-control system designed to maintain code, track changes, recover old versions and collaborate with other developers. 

This course, organised by ELIXIR Belgium, is open to everyone for free.

FAIR trees: phylogenetics in Galaxy workshop

Repeat webinar for Getting started with impact evaluation

This is a repeat webinar for the fully subscribed Getting started with impact evaluation training event. This time, there is no limit to the number of attendees, and anyone interested in impact (of research infrastructures) is welcome to join. You do not need to be part of ELIXIR. 

The event will be shorter (2.5h) and less hands-on (no group work using MURAL) than the original event, yet still providing the core contents.

 

Getting started with impact evaluation

This workshop will provide new knowledge and skills related to impact evaluation through hands-on learning and knowledge-exchange. Learning will be facilitated by impact evaluators from the European Future Innovation System Centre.

Objectives

  • Gain new knowledge and skills related to impact evaluation, through hands-on learning, complemented with knowledge-exchange.

  • Refine the case study ideas (or 'impact challenges'), which will be taken forwards under Work Package 2 of the Strategic Implementation Study on Impact.

What does it mean to be partner?

 

Partners and research groups

 

All Flemish universities and two Walloon universities are partners in the ELIXIR Belgium consortium, as well as VIB and Sciensano. More specifically, these are the groups within the partner institutes that provide bioinformatics infrastructure services in Belgium. The addition of new partner institutes is a decision of the ELIXIR Belgium Management Board.

 

Individual membership of ELIXIR Belgium

 

For the ELIXIR Belgium Node, we consider the following points to determine who is a member of the Node. You have to be affiliated with one of our partner organisations. Secondly, you have to be a provider or developer of bioinformatics tools or  services, or be active in the fields of data management, reproducible analysis or data sharing. Moreover, you need to have a demonstrated interest in ELIXIR goals. If you are interested to join ELIXIR, e.g. in new Communities, please get in contact first.
