On October 4th, 2024, the Digit 2024 event in Tartu brought together leaders in technology and academia to celebrate the best of the software domain. Among the standout speakers was ELIXIR Estonia’s own Uku Raudvere, who delivered an insightful presentation on “The Impact of Scientific Programmers in Academia”.
The BeYond-COVID (BY-COVID) project aimed to provide extensive open data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases, emphasizing the mobilization of raw viral sequences to monitor the spread of variants. To ensure global collaboration, it enabled federated data analysis, managed metadata, and facilitated long-term cataloguing. Success stories can be read here, on page 16 is project lead by University of Tartu: Infectious Diseases Toolkit.
This course is addressed to life scientists, bioinformaticians and researchers who are familiar with writing Python code and core Python elements and would like to explore if further in their daily data wrangling and exploration tasks.
Registration deadline: 28 October 2024
This intermediate level course is addressed to biologists, bioinformaticians, and other computational scientists which use python in their research and would like to enhance their data exploration and presentation capabilities with interactive plots.

This course introduces the basics of Markdown, a lightweight markup language used to format plain text in documents. Markdown plays a crucial role in scientific research by enabling the efficient writing of reports, code documentation, and creating well-organised research notebooks. Students will learn essential Markdown syntax throughout the course, including formatting text, adding links, images, tables, math equations, and code blocks. By integrating Markdown with Jupyter Notebook, participants can build dynamic laboratory notebooks that streamline the documentation, analysis, and sharing of research findings.
The UniTartuCS Day, held annually in September, offers students a unique opportunity to connect with researchers and lecturers, explore thesis topics, and establish ties with research groups. ELIXIR Estonia participated in the event with a poster presentation, and our Head of Node, Hedi Peterson, proposed four possible thesis topics applicable to both Bachelor’s and Master’s students.
