The goal of this event is to bring together all training materials developed within the de.NBI Cloud/de.KCD project and convert them into GTN-compatible formats. This will allow us to host them in the de.KCD Training-Materials repository and, eventually, make them available through the GTN. In addition, we plan to hold discussion sessions on topics such as: - Best practices for creating and m…

This event provides you the opportunity to gain first-hand insights in our ongoing work, connect to current strategic considerations for knowledge transfer and contribute to th…
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…
