Have you heard the word metadata but have no idea what it refers to, what type of content is found in metadata, how it is being used and why to use it? This asynchronous e-learning course (1h) can be completed online, at the desired pace and in the absence of an instructor.
Course is full. You can sign up for a waiting list in case anyone cancels their attendance.
Are you ready to unlock the potential of your data? This one-day workshop will introduce you to Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)—an essential first step in any data analysis workflow. Designed for graduate-level learners without a computational background, this course will equip you with the foundational skills to summarize, visualize, and interpret data effectively. With a hands-on, beginner-friendly approach, you’ll practice these skills using real-world datasets and leave with the confidence to explore data independently.
Before attending the course, please ensure you have installed on your laptop:
This course introduces scientific researchers and PhD students to Notion, a versatile and powerful tool for productivity and organisation. Participants will learn to use Notion to streamline their workflows, manage their research projects, and enhance collaboration with colleagues. By the end of the course, attendees will have a deep understanding of Notion’s features and practical strategies to integrate them into their daily routines.

ELIXIR Estonia is proud to share our active participation in two significant events during the same week: BioHackathon Europe 2024 in Barcelona and the Finnish Nordic Computational Biology (NCB) Conference in Helsinki.
ELIXIR Estonia is delighted to share that our Data Managers, Heleri and Diana, recently attended the Estonian Research Council’s event, “Teaduskommunikatsiooni järelkasv: kust tulevad ja kuhu kaovad teaduskommunikaatorid?” (“The Future of Science Communication: Where Do Communicators Come From and Where Do They Go?”).
On October 15, citizen science enthusiasts, researchers, and representatives from various institutions gathered in Tartu for a seminar on advancing citizen science in Estonia. The Estonian Research Council hosted the event and attracted participants from universities, museums, government agencies, and beyond. The seminar fostered active discussions and collaboration, emphasising the importance of building and maintaining a strong network to support citizen science initiatives in the country.
The fourth ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference, which was held at the University of Tartu from 7 to 9 October 2024, was themed “Innovation and Creativity in Higher Education.” Our training coordinator, Diana, attended the conference to learn about student-oriented teaching methods.
