Hands-on training in bioinformatics often requires participants to follow an instructor by entering commands or running tools in a specific execution environment (e.g. Linux). These environments often require a specific set-up of tools and libraries to be prepared in advance, which can be an obstacle for potential participants if they have to do the work on their own. This also poses a risk to th…
Research Data Day takes place every year on the second Tuesday in November. It is a campaign organized across the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) dedicated to the topic of research data management (RDM). The motto of what will be the 4th Research Data Day in NRW is "Into the data garden: make your research bloom". The state initiative fdm.nrw is organizing an online programme (in German) in…
