WEBINAR: Bringing FAIR Research Data Management to Researchers At Scale

 12 pm - 1 pm AEST, Galaxy Australia, Queensland University of Technology       Register

Join this webinar, run by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), to hear from two experts about resources for scaling the implementation of FAIR research data management (RDM) for researchers. This event is for people interested in best practices in RDM and how to implement the FAIR principles for research outputs.

Dr Katharina F. Heil is the Programme Manager, Communities and Training for ELIXIR, the European life sciences infrastructure that brings together scientists from 23 countries and over 250 research institutes. Katharina’s work ensures alignment of ELIXIR Communities and Platforms, allowing ELIXIR, an intergovernmental organisation and Europe’s Research Infrastructure for life sciences, to successfully bring together life science resources across Europe. The main aim is service and resource coordination to form a single infrastructure, supporting the mission of Open Life Science, following the FAIR principles.

In this webinar, Katharina will be joined by Dr Frederik Coppens, Head of VIB Data Core and Head of Node, ELIXIR Belgium. His team provides research infrastructure services to enable FAIR data management and data analysis. Frederik co-leads the RDMkit in ELIXIR and the ELIXIR Galaxy Community. The approach taken is known as “FAIR-by-design”, providing platforms and interfaces that help researchers to publish data according to the best practices, embedded in the ELIXIR RDM ecosystem. 

Who the meeting is for:

This event is for people interested in best practices in RDM and how to implement the FAIR principles for research outputs. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to ask Katharina and Frederik questions and discuss the topic with other attendees.

How to join:

This community meeting takes place online. It is free to join but you must register in advance. The session will be recorded and published online.

MEETING: Building active communities around research infrastructure

12 pm - 1 pm AEST     Learn More          Register here

Dr Katharina F Heil is the Programme Manager Communities & Training for ELIXIR, the European life sciences infrastructure that brings together scientists from 23 countries and over 250 research institutes. Katharina works to ensure alignment of ELIXIR Communities and Platforms, to ultimately bring together life science resources across Europe.

Forming a single infrastructure that connects so many individuals and organisations is a complicated task. Katharina acts as an interdisciplinary and international team-player to bridge gaps between scientific ideas and industry, as well as between different research ideas. She brings experience in project management, leadership, analytical and communication skills to establish new collaborations, optimise work streams, and help others to grow and make the best use of available technologies and resources.

Who the meeting is for:

This event is for people interested in the opportunities that scientific engagement, community building and training can bring to research infrastructures. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to ask Katharina questions and discuss the topic with other attendees.

How to join

This meeting takes place online via Zoom.

It is free to join but you must register in advance.

WEBINAR: Managing hands-on data analysis training with Galaxy

12 pm - 1 pm AEST       Register here

Looking for flexible, scalable, real-world solutions that enable data analysis skills to be taught to anyone and anywhere? 

Galaxy Australia, a national web service supporting 1000s of bioinformatics tools and workflows is a fantastic solution for training on bioinformatics concepts. Their "Training Infrastructure as a Service”, or TIaaS provides free compute and back-end support for data analysis training. It is paired with 100’s of easy-to-follow tutorials developed and maintained by the worldwide community on the Galaxy Training Network (GTN). TIaaS frees trainers from setting up and maintaining computational resources for their training events so that they can focus on student needs and learning outcomes.

This webinar will show you how to make the most of Galaxy Australia, TIaaS and the Galaxy Training Network for bioinformatics training. We’ll highlight all the nifty features you can use to plan, manage and deliver training to any size audience efficiently.

Speakers: 

Dr Gareth Price, QCIF and Galaxy Australia

Dr Saskia Hiltemann, Erasmus Medical Center, The Netherlands

Helena Rasche, Erasmus Medical Center, The Netherlands

Who the webinar is for:

This webinar is for trainers, life scientists and bioinformaticians who need to teach others data analysis skills.

How to join:

This webinar is free to join but you must register for a place in advance.

TechTalk | The Next Generation of Scientific Computing at the Australian Synchrotron

2:00 pm AEST      Register Now

LAMMPS is a molecular dynamics software package which, uniquely, has large chunks of contributed code written (often obviously) by academics who aren't necessarily top-notch coders (like myself!), and that's what I would explore in the talk. LAMMPS has set up a strong internal framework of classes that help academics start writing or modifying code with relatively little C++ knowledge. I can also talk about a package I recently developed with international collaborators which has been accepted into the source code and discuss some of the challenges and lessons from collaborating long-distance over coding and getting recognition for scientific coding (and the consequences when scientists aren't recognised). 

Speaker

  • Dr Andreas Moll, Manager - Scientific Computing, The Australian Synchrotron.

Integrated Earth 2023 - Expression of Interest (by 5th May)

 

Shine Dome, Australian Academy of Science, Canberra

Hybrid

Integrated Earth 2023 will be a two-day symposium held at the Shine Dome on Ngunnawal Country (Canberra) that aims to integrate Earth systems expertise and data better to address complex Earth systems challenges that Australia faces. This event will be run in a face-to-face hybrid format from 12 – 13 September 2023 and free for all to attend. It is being produced by members of the National Earth and Environmental Sciences Facilities Forum (NEESFF), including TERN, AuScope, NCI, ARDC, IMOS and ACCESS-NRI. It is generously supported by the late Elizabeth and Frederick White and the Australian Academy of Science.

Integrated Earth 2023 will bring together participants working across the five Earth systems (geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) to identify opportunities for data integration and scientific collaboration. Organisers seek to create a cross-disciplinary community of practice for Australian Earth and environmental science data, ensuring that, whilst data might be collected in isolation and for a specific research problem, it can be integrated with other data for a wide range of possible applications.
