WorkflowHub is a registry for describing, sharing and publishing scientific computational workflows. WorkflowHub aims to facilitate discovery and re-use of workflows in an accessible and interoperable way. This is achieved through extensive use of open standards and tools, including Common Workflow Language (CWL), RO-Crate, BioSchemas and Tool Registry Service (TRS).

The ELIXIR Research Data Management Kit (RDMkit) is an online guide containing best practices in data management applicable to research projects from the beginning to the end. RDMkit is developed and managed by people who work every day with life science data.

BY-COVID

1 October 2021 - 30 September 2024

BY-COVID is a €12 million Horizon Europe project, coordinated by ELIXIR, that strives to tackle the data challenges that can hinder effective pandemic response. The core aim of the project is to ensure that data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases are accessible to all those who need it across research, healthcare, and industry.

Empowering Biodiversity Research Conference 2022

24-25 May 2022
Royal Museum for Central Africa, Leuvensesteenweg 13, Tervuren
This conference will allow you to explore and discuss the opportunities and strengths related to biodiversity informatics and open data & open science, to learn about Belgian research projects using biodiversity informatics tools to enhance their results, and to network with fellow biodiversity scientists. Program and registration.

Migrating tools to the cloud workshop

This workshop will show you the possibilities and the pitfalls of transferring software tools to the cloud using real-life examples.  Four scientists will testify about their experiences with implementing the tool that was developed in their lab in the cloud. We will end the workshop with a panel discussion. More info and registration.

 

Talks:

Docker (and Singularity) for reproducible and automated data analysis

The course will give an introduction to containers (Docker & Singularity) which are great components to achieve portability and reproducibility of your analysis. You will learn how to use containers and how to build a container from scratch, share it with others and how to re-use and modify existing containers. After an extensive explanation on Docker containers, Singularity will be highlighted as well. 

 

Objectives

Nextflow for reproducible and automated data analysis

You will learn how to use Nextflow for building scalable and reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and running them on a personal computer, cluster and cloud. Starting from the basic concepts we will build our own simple pipeline and add new features with every step, all in the new DSL2 language.
