OpenRefine andmete puhastamiseks - 07.11.2025 - Kutsega

Praktiline töötuba, kus puhastame käsitsi sisestatud andmeid OpenRefine tarkvaraga. Esmalt käsitleme tabelarvutuse parimaid tavasid ning seejärel rakendame teadmisi OpenRefine’is. Koolitusel uurime OpenRefine tarkvara funktsionaalsusi: andmete puhastamist suuremate partiidena ja andmete ühtlustamist ühe hoobiga. Lisaks tutvustame võimalust laadida alla täiendavaid andmeid teistest andmebaasidest ja lisarakendusi.

ELIXIR Estonia’s January to June 2025 Highlights

The first half of 2025 has shown how ELIXIR Estonia combines international collaboration, national community-building, and innovative training to support researchers. With initiatives in citizen science, data management network, and skill development, the team is contributing to the foundation for a strong, sustainable research data ecosystem in Estonia.

ELIXIR’s student topics for ATI Day 24.09.2025

ELIXIR Estonia is building and maintaining web tools and other resources for life science research. We aim to build things that last and are useful over a longer period. we offer 4 topics:

  • Topic 1: Modernising KEGGanim web application
  • Topic 2: Contrastive Learning for Microscopy Image Understanding
  • Topic 3: Vision learning to understand how good a basketball player X is in situation Y?
  • Topic 4: Evaluating the Impact of Data Update Frequency on Functional Annotations Across 1000 Species Using g:Profiler data archives

Andmehaldus 101 - 10.10.2025 - Kutsega

Andmehaldus 101 on ülevaatlik kursus, mis annab teadlastele praktilised oskused uurimisandmete tõhusaks organiseerimiseks ja haldamiseks. Kursusel käsitleme parimaid praktikaid failide nimetamisel, kaustastruktuuri loomisel, andmete varundamisel ja jagamisel. Suur rõhk on metaandmetel ning README-faili koostamisel – õpime, mida metaandmed tegelikult hõlmavad, miks need on teadustöö jätkusuutlikkuse seisukohalt hädavajalikud ning kuidas neid kasutada. Õpitut kinnistame praktiliste harjutuste ja ülesannete abil.

How to make your messy data usable? / OpenRefine - 23.10.2025 - Registration OPEN

The practical workshop on cleaning your messy data with OpenRefine software.

First, we will cover spreadsheet best practices. Then, we will put that knowledge into practice with OpenRefine. This course will explore the depths of OpenRefine software and see what it can offer. This will include cleaning the data in bigger batches and unifying the data in one sweep (transforms and expressions). Additionally, we will introduce the possibility of downloading additional data from other databases and different extensions OpenRefine software has.

FiBar: A New Tool for Fiber Diameter Analysis in Drug Delivery Research

This summer, Marilin Moor, Product Manager of ELIXIR Estonia and now a PhD student at the University of Tartu, published a new article presenting FiBar, a tool for analysing fiber diameters in complex drug delivery systems. The research was carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Pharmacy (Laura Männaste, Marta Putrinš and Professor Karin Kogermann) and Dmytro Fishman, Associate Professor in Artificial Intelligence at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Tartu.

RDMkit: Guiding Life Scientists in Research Data Management

ELIXIR Estonia is proud to showcase the Research Data Management Kit (RDMkit), a community-led knowledge resource for life sciences that helps researchers and data stewards navigate the complexities of managing research data. Developed through the ELIXIR CONVERGE project and supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, the RDMkit provides guidance on Research Data management that aligns with FAIR principles, ensuring data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

Data visualisation (theory) - 30.09.2025

Researchers often face overwhelming raw data, making it crucial to utilize data visualization effectively. This skill transforms complex datasets into clear, insightful narratives, avoiding the pitfalls of misinterpretation through poor design. In this course, we’ll explore optimal chart types for different data, engage in interactive exercises, discuss best practices, and learn about the data-ink ratio and color selection, all illustrated with practical examples.

Licensing Research Outputs - 05.09.2025

In scientific research, you work with many types of outputs, whether created by you or by others. How can you ensure that others give you proper credit when using your materials? And how can you know exactly what you are allowed to do with resources created by others? These questions fall under the scope of copyright law.

This lecture will explain what copyright laws do, who holds the rights to research materials, and how those rights affect their use. We will cover the role of licenses in protecting and sharing different types of outputs—such as figures, datasets, and software—and explain what each license permits. Finally, we will demonstrate how to choose and apply an appropriate license to your own research outputs.
