ELIXIR All Hands Meeting at Uppsala University was a resounding success! The grand main lecture hall provided a fantastic venue. It was wonderful to see colleagues from different nodes gather, share insights, and engage in enriching networking opportunities.
This remote event focuses on applying FAIR principles to machine_learning models in the life sciences, enhancing their reproducibility and utility.
Why Participate?
The hackathon is ideal for researchers, data scientists, and developers at the intersection of AI/ML and life sciences.
Date: 20 - 21 June
This interactive event will help participants understand ELIXIR’s structure and operations. It is particularly suitable for people who have been part of ELIXIR for less than two years, but is open to all. Those involved in onboarding new people to Nodes might also find this webinar useful.
By the end of the session, attendees should have a clearer picture of how they fit into ELIXIR and how best to apply their knowledge and skills to maximise their impact. They should leave with answers to their questions, and understand where to find further information and how to actively engage with ELIXIR.

On June 4, 2024, the DataCite Estonia consortium Open Science event took take place at the University of Tartu Library.
ELIXIR EE has been advocating for Open Science principles across universities in Estonia and our efforts have been noticed (slides by Liisi Lembinen). Additionally, our node contact has been recognized for their expertise in data management (slides by Janelle Kirss from Taltech).
Slides and materials are available in DSpace.
Last week of May BY-COVID Project partners from SciLifeLab, The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, BBMRI-ERIC, ELIXIR Belgium and ELIXIR Estonia gathered to Tallinn to advance the Infectious Diseases Toolkit content. We published 5! new pages and a few more will be released soon.
This course is aimed at PhD students, post-docs and researchers in life sciences wanting to make computational inferences about gene regulation from gene expression data, chromatin accessibility and epigenetic mark data. The course is targeted to a wide audience ranging from computational biologists and bioinformatics researchers who regularly analyse transcriptome and epigenome data, to experimental researchers interested in inferring key regulatory interactions in their own data.
Application deadline: 28 August 2024
Date: 30 August 2024
This course is aimed at PhD students, postdoctoral and other researchers in the life sciences who are planning how to proceed with comparative genomics analyses to investigate biological or evolutionary questions of importance to their study system, particularly to leverage comparative genomics tools and resources to characterise the gene repertoires of their non-model species.
Application deadline: 16 July 2024
Date: 26 - 28 August 2024
This workshop will present a general overview of data sensitivity in relation to sharing and reuse; two presentations on aspects of sensitive data in different research areas; a focus on Persistent Identifiers and data handling of sensitive data; and an opportunity to join in the discussion with the presenters and with each other.
Date: 25th June at 14:00-15:15 CEST
This workshop is designed for trainers, anyone developing or maintaining repositories, standards, and policies, librarians, data stewards, and those assisting researchers. However, all Life Science research data community members and beyond – including researchers themselves – are most welcome.
Date: 27 June 2024
This course is addressed to computational biologists, bioinformaticians, researchers, scientists and trainers working in the life sciences who want to learn how to make their research and training FAIRer with reproducible notebooks and websites.
Application deadline: 28 June 2024
