Webinar series: Quantitative biology at the molecular and cellular levels: leveraging the power of AI

The webinar series will feature speakers actively engaged in developing novel applications of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning techniques to advance experimental and computational structural biology and other key research areas in biology. Each presentation will be followed by a 20 minutes Q/A session.
 

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.

 

Benefits of being a member of ELIXIR Belgium

 

Membership of ELIXIR Belgium leads to a number of benefits. 

 

 

Last update 14 March 2022.

EXCELERATE

31 December 2014 - 30 December 2019

EXCELERATE helps ELIXIR to coordinate and extend national and international data resources and ensure the delivery of world-leading life-science data services. It supports a pan-European training programme, anchored in national infrastructures, to increase bioinformatics capacity and competency. Coordinated by the ELIXIR Hub, it involves 46 partners from 17 countries.

EOSC-Life

1 March 2019 - 31 August 2023

The EOSC-Life project is a collaboration of 13 ESFRI Research infrastructures in the Health and Food domain to create an open collaborative digital space for life science in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The project is coordinated by ELIXIR.

Federated Human Data

31 May 2019 - 30 December 2021

Many countries in Europe have nascent personalised medicine programmes indicating a shift in human genomics from a predominantly research-driven activity to one funded through healthcare. This is evidenced by the declaration of many European countries to sequence and share transnationally at least 1 million genomes by 2022. As healthcare is subject to national laws, genetic data generated in this way is not likely to be shared as widely as research data.

Implementing EOSC: ESFRI driven Open Science

31 May 2019 - 29 June 2020

This grant aims at collaboration between a number of research infrastructures in Flanders. The ESFRIs in scope are LifeWatch, DiSSCo and ICOS (Environment cluster), and ELIXIR, AnaEE, Euro-BioImaging, EMBRC and Instruct (Health and Food cluster). The project is led by VIB (ELIXIR) and VLIZ (LifeWatch).    

Standardizing the fluxomics workflows

31 May 2019 - 30 May 2021

This Metabolomics Community-led study focusses on the standardization of fluxomics workflows. The study is led by ELIXIR Greece and ELIXIR Spain and supported by EMBL-EBI and 11 other national ELIXIR Nodes, among which ELIXIR Belgium (Bart Ghesquire).
