How to apply bioinformatics to metallo-proteins

Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - 09:00 to Friday, February 15, 2019 - 18:00

As part of the periodic National School for Bioinorganic Chemists organized by the Italian Chemical Society, the present activity aims at training PhD students and post-doctoral fellows in the use of advanced computational methods for the investigation of metal-binding biological systems. In particular, the use of on-line database resources in conjunction with state-of-the-art software for the simulation of the structure and dynamics of metal-binding proteins is addressed.

The topics are mainly based on WP11 drafted Guidelines and Best Practises on Training Delivery, with extended contents on training delivery techniques.

FitSM Foundation Training - Lisbon - 12 Oct 2018 (DI4R co-location)

Friday, October 12, 2018 - 08:15 to 17:30

IT Service Management is a discipline that helps provide services with a focus on customer needs and in a professional manner. It is widely used in the commercial and public sectors to manage IT services of all types, but current solutions are very heavyweight with high barriers to entry.

FitSM is an open, lightweight standard for professionally managing services. It brings order and traceability to a complex area and provides simple, practical support in getting started with ITSM. FitSM training and certification provide crucial help in delivering services and improving their management. It provides a common conceptual and process model, sets out straightforward and realistic requirements and links them to supporting materials.

FitSM is the reference framework being used in both EOSC-hub and EOSCpilot projects, among other research infrastructures as well. Through FitSM, the EOSC-hub project aims at conducting effective IT service management in a federated environment and achieving a baseline level of ITSM that can act in support of ‘management interoperability’ in federated environments where disparate organisations must cooperate to manage services. 

In addition, participants have an opportunity to receive a formal certification backed by certification authority ICO-Cert for anyone successfully passing the exam (20 multiple choice questions, 13 required to pass). Both the costs of the training and the exam is covered and offered by the EOSC-hub project for free.

The training is co-located with the DI4R Conference taking place on Friday 12 October, ensuring no overlap with the main programme.

This is one-day Foundation level course provides an agnostic introduction to the basic IT service management concepts and terms, outlines the purpose and structure of FitSM standards and their relationship to other standards, and details the formal requirements defined within it.

IT Security Management (ISM) in EOSC-hub: policies and global trust

Thursday, October 11, 2018 - 11:30 to 16:00

The aims of IT Security Management (ISM) include the management of security risk, the maintenance of confidentiality, integrity and availability of services and data, the handling of security incidents, the prevention of incidents by handling vulnerabilities, and the definition of best practice together with appropriate dissemination and delivery of training courses. In the world of Open Science and in view of the ever-changing landscape of security threats on the Internet, ISM is an ongoing global challenge. Experience has shown that security and trust is best tackled in a collaborative way, especially as the Infrastructure security teams have to trust each other, to allow for the proper handling of those security incidents which spread between Infrastructures.

Planning early, following through: Data Management Planning in the EOSC

Tuesday, October 9, 2018 - 12:15 to 15:45

Background
The Open Science paradigm strongly contributes towards lifting the barriers that restrict access and re-use of research data. Aligned with the paradigm, funders and agencies, at European and national level, increasingly promote the adoption of strategies of FAIR and open research data. Such strategies, covering all datasets utilised or generated in the course of a research project, are embodied in the Data Management Plan (DMP).

Why are DMPs important ?
 Data Management Plans are important for individual researchers, community or institutional data managers and fundholders. Most H2020 proposals now require a DMP as specified in Article 29.3 of the Grant Agreement, and many countries also require this for nationally funded research. The aim of a DMP is to: - engage researchers to plan sustainable, result-oriented and cost-effective research strategies during and beyond the project lifetime, - enable research communities to discover and utilise invaluable, trustworthy data and, - allow funders assess their strategy and actions in a multitude of directions. When applicable, open access to the data, complemented with effective citation mechanism, guarantees visibility of the scientific results, for the benefit of the researcher, of the scientific community and of the society in its whole.

3rd Int'l Summer School on Data Science (SSDS 2018)

Monday, September 24, 2018 - 09:00 to Friday, September 28, 2018 - 18:00

The Summer School will be organized by the Center of Research Excellence for Data Science and Advanced Cooperative Systems, Research Unit for Data Science, from September 24-28, 2018 in Split, Croatia. 

NGSchool 2018

Sunday, September 16, 2018 - 09:00 to Sunday, September 23, 2018 - 17:00

#NGSchool (Next Generation School) is a platform to share the expertise in the field of Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis and general Bioinformatics. Our aim is to deepen and broaden knowledge and skills in Bioinformatics of all participants. Our activities are dedicated to young researchers with at least basic background in biology/math/informatics that are willing to improve their Bioinformatics and NGS data analysis skills. We select participants primarily from less developed countries such as Central & Eastern European Countries.

So far we have organised 3 summer schools and co-organised number of local and satellite eventsSummer School in Bioinformatics & NGS Data Analysis is our flagship annual event. It connect experts and early stage researchers working with NGS data, in order to exchange their expertise and learn one from another. In addition, starting from 2018, we started organising number of local events.

Why is it important?

We are living in very fascinating moment in the history, so-called Genomics Era, when obtaining the whole genome sequence of any individual becomes trivial task at affordable cost. Personalised medicine, a health-care system in which medical decisions and health-care products are tailored for the individuals based on their predicted response or risk of disease, is just around the corner. It is crucial to train the future experts, that will drive this revolution also in our region.

How many users does usually partecipate?

Our events are attended by 20-70 people, majority of those are PhD students and Post-docs, but researchers at all career stages are welcome! Summer schools usually welcome 40-60 people, of those 1/3 are speakers. For example, #NGSchool2018 will be attended by 60-70 participants including 20-30 speakers/hackathon mentors.
