Federated analysis is transforming genomics research by enabling collaborative analysis of distributed datasets while ensuring data privacy and delivering valuable insights into genetic diseases. ELIXIR is involved in the EUCAIM (European Cancer Image) project and coordinates the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project, which aims to provide federated access to over one million whole genome sequences.
This project targets the ELIXIR-GOBLET instructor community and trainers, who are typically domain experts in ELIXIR platforms, communities, and services. By providing these experts with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively use ELIXIR’s training resources and services, the project ensures high-quality training design, development, and delivery for the research community.
For ELIXIR Nodes to succeed, they must operate as well-coordinated, professionally managed organisations, delivering high-quality support, expertise, and services that align with both national stakeholders' needs and ELIXIR's broader research priorities. Achieving long-term success in a research infrastructure requires more than just funding; it demands strategic planning, strong communication, community engagement, technological innovation, skilled personnel, adaptability, and
The Genome of Europe (GoE) project encompasses 51 partners across 29 European countries to establish a unique pan-European reference database comprising a minimum of 100.000 genomes representative of European citizens in alignment with the 1+ Million Genomes initiative.
TeSS, the ELIXIR Training Portal, is used by over 100 content providers from all 23 ELIXIR Nodes and various collaborators outside the ELIXIR network. With a vast repository of 2,772 training materials and nearly 9,000 registered events, the use of controlled vocabulary is crucial for filtering, finding and reusing content effectively.
Over the last few months, the rapid establishment of generative AI and Large Language Models (LLM) has opened new frontiers in a variety of domains.
The class aims to show participants how to effectively integrate new generative AI tools within their work and research workflow. AI tools are not intended as substitutes, but rather as tools to support brainstorming, exploration, analysis and synthesis processes.
Objectives include:

This is a day for research software engineers to gather together to make software better, more reliable, more trustworthy, and most of all, to share their vast collective experience.
Join the community for an exciting day of talks and workshops to discuss the challenges you face and the bugs you chase.
More info about the program and registration is available on this link.
This is a course that gently introduces programming to new programmers over 4 morning sessions and afternoon (or self-paced) activities. There are plenty of opportunities to practice what you learn and ask questions in a safe place. Furthermore, surprise yourself by building a substantial project.
Following the morning sessions, there are optional interactive afternoon "lab" sessions for you to do exercises and/or ask questions to the trainers. More lab sessions may be scheduled with our trainers at different times (online or in-person) depending on your needs.
This is a online course that gently introduces programming to new programmers over a self-paced 2-month period combined with Q&A "lab" sessions.
During the 2-month course, there are scheduled optional afternoon “lab” sessions for Q&A and problem solving. The lab sessions will be in Ghent and online, but more/other may be scheduled with our trainers at different times (online or in-person) based on your personal needs and availability.
