Katarzyna Kamieniecka (University of Bradford), a member of the ELIXIR-UK Fellowship Programme, has just launched a new series of lessons to improve Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable (FAIR) data management in the life sciences. The lessons are designed to help researchers and research support staff understand the principles of FAIR data management and apply them to their own work.

The lessons cover three key topics:

  • FAIR in a nutshell: provides a short introduction to the FAIR principles and their origin.
  • FAIR data management solutions: discusses a FAIR data management framework that can be used to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research data.
  • FAIR Galaxy Training Material: shows how to set and use existing resources to make Galaxy training development and content creation FAIR.

The lessons are available online and can be accessed by anyone. They are a valuable resource for anyone who wants to improve their data management practices.

Where can I learn more?

You can find out more about the new lessons on the ELIXIR-UK Fellowship site and its recommended resources page. You can also follow Katarzyna Kamieniecka on Twitter for updates on her work.

More lessons coming soon!

Scaling Up Hands-On Bioinformatics Training with TIAAS – An Open University Perspective

3 July 2025   gtn TIAAS

Back in September 2024, we ran the Open University Bioinformatics Bootcamp—a free, five-day online course introducing students to the core tools and techniques used in single-cell biology. We were genuinely delighted by the level of interest: 120 students signed up, 100 showed up, and around 80 worked through the hands-on tutorials during the week. That’s a fantastic level of engagement, especially for a course that’s entirely optional and doesn’t count towards their degree.

Enhancing Scientific Training: The Galaxy Training Network's Role in the ELIXIR Training Life-Cycle

1 July 2025   gtn

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data science, continuous learning and skill development are crucial. The Galaxy Training Network (GTN) plays a pivotal role in this educational ecosystem, particularly within the ELIXIR Training Life-Cycle. This blog post explores how the GTN contributes to each phase of the life-cycle and aligns with the SPLASH recommendations, ensuring high-quality training for researchers worldwide.

An Ode to the Galaxy Community and all I learned

19 June 2025   gtn

This is my ode to the Galaxy Community to say how grateful I have been for your welcome, your energy, and your support. I have learned so very, very much, about bioinformatics; about software development; and most of all, about open-source communities in this complex scientific world.
