EOSC-Life will be offering a variety of trainings for the benefit of our project participants, as well as the research community as a whole.
Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Twitter to be the first to find out about upcoming training events!
This EOSC-Life training consists of two elements, a 2-hour online seminar and a face-to-face workshop (lunch to lunch) held at EMBL-EBI, UK.
The online seminar will cover the basics of playful learning and gamification and will enable participants to complete the preparatory work for the face-to-face workshop. During the workshop, participants will wireframe ideas for educational games, create prototype games, and playtest both online and tactile (i.e. board and card) games.
Online seminar
When: Friday, 24 February 2023 (11:00-13:00 CET / 10:00-12:00 GMT)
Register for the seminar
Face-to-Face Workshop
When: 20-21 April 2023 (lunch to lunch, exact times TBA)
Where: Hinxton, UK
Register for the workshop by no later than March 15
Target audience: This training is aimed at trainers, training managers and related roles at Research Infrastructures (RI) and EOSC projects.
Prerequisites: Applicants should plan to use an educational game within the next year in the context of training and complete a pre-assignment.
Learning outcomes of the online seminar:
After the online seminar, participants will be able to explain the basics of playful learning and plan content and learning outcomes for individual games. Topics include:
Learning outcomes of the F2F workshop:
By the end of the workshop, participants will have created a prototype game and will be familiar with methods they can use to create educational games in the future. Outcome elements include:

Open Life Science (OLS) is a 16-week long personal mentorship and cohort-based training for individuals who would like to develop and lead Open Research projects in their communities. Open Life Science has received a grant from the first EOSC-Life Training Open Call to train and mentor EOSC-RI members under the collaboration name OLS for EOSC.
For each cohort, OLS opens a call for mentors and project leads. In each cohort, the participants of this program will:
This program will provide a unique opportunity to individuals and teams to integrate best practices for open and reproducible research in new or ongoing projects. They will also offer microgrants to our participants to ensure that they can equitably participate in the program (see this post for details). You are welcome to visit their the graduation calls to find more about projects from the previous rounds (announcement).
For more information, please contact the OLS team (team@openlifesci.org), visit their website or join their public mailing list to receive updates.

Computational workflows allow for automation of multi-step analyses and support the reproducibility of analyses. This online tutorial provides a short introduction to workflows for the analysis of life sciences data, providing examples of platforms for creating workflows and the considerations required for developing them.
This webinar demonstrates how MICHA (Minimal Information for Chemosensitivity Assays) can facilitate the open data in chemosensitivity assays, by automatically extracting publicly available information for compounds (including primary and secondary targets, disease indications and physio-chemical properties) and by making the assay annotation as smoothly as possible.
By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
The recording can be watched anytime on the EMBL-EBI website
Improving data reproducibility for chemosensitivity assays using MICHA
Nextflow is an open-source workflow orchestrator that simplifies writing and deploying data-intensive computational pipelines on any infrastructure. This Nextflow online tutorial is for anyone who would like to start using Nextflow to develop and deploy their own workflows.
The videos and training materials used were developed and presented by Seqera Labs.

The COVID-19 Data Portal was launched in April 2020 to bring together relevant datasets and tools for sharing and analysis in an effort to accelerate coronavirus research. It enables researchers to upload, access and analyse COVID-19 related reference data and specialist datasets.
This webinar recording provides an introduction to the COVID-19 Data Portal, discuss the kind of data that is made available and includes a demonstration of how to access data.
It is for anyone interested in using the COVID-19 Data Portal. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but an undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.
By the end of the webinar recording you will be able to:
This webinar ran on Wednesday 22 June 2022, 16:30 – 17:30 (CEST).
The recording can be watched anytime on the EMBL-EBI website.

This course will provide an introduction to cloud computing and some practical experience in building, deploying and running applications in cloud platforms – OpenStack, Google, Amazon and Azure. This course was developed as part of the EOSC-Life project.
Learn how to compose and execute repeatable and reproducible modelling workflow with FATES for improving climate models. This course is supported and funded by the Galaxy Training Network, EOSC-Nordic and EOSC-Life.
The EOSC-Life Training team offers funding to support training activities and provides expertise and guidance to help organise successful and impactful training through our Training Open Calls. These calls are for training on topics relevant for EOSC-Life. Proposals can be submitted for funding to support the following activities (not mutually exclusive).
EOSC-Life has launched three Training Open Calls so far. You can take a look at the proposals funded in the first call and in the second call. The list of proposals funded in the third call, which closed on 1 November 2022, will be announced in December 2022.
