Organiser(s): FAIRPoints

Venue: Online event via Zoom

Description:
The theme of this session is ‘FAIRPoints ‘Ask Me Anything’ on Identifiers.’ We will be discussing the different types of identifiers available, their importance in creating FAIR Digital Objects, and how they can be applied and integrated into research practices. Speakers include Maggie Hellström, Peter Wittenberg, Matthew Buys, and moderated by Natasha Simons, Nabil Ksibi, Patricia Herterich.

The events will bring together speakers from the RDA Groups and speakers from a related EOSC service to describe how their work aligns, how it connects to the research community, and how it benefits the research community in a way that is directly related to the implementation of FAIR and Open research practices. The events are beginner-friendly, laid-back, and easy to follow, with moderators driving the discussion, posing questions to our speakers, and inviting audience questions. Finally a selection of questions will be gathered and turned into Google Educational Q&A flashcards (https://schema.org/QAPage) for future reference.

Date and time: Jan 27, 2023 11:00 - Jan 27, 2023 14:00

Organiser(s): SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS

Venue: Navet E10:2309 & Online via Zoom

Description:
Join SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS for a 15 min mini-lecture: Need to setup a DMP? Join us for a session about DMPs and the SciLifeLab Data Stewardship Wizard tool. After the mini-lecture there is time for a general Q & A for 45 minutes. Join us on Zoom or on-site at BMC, Uppsala in E10:2309.

The NEW ‘Meet a data steward sessions’ are held both at BMC, Uppsala and online and are open for all researchers affiliated with a Swedish university or institute. Each event starts with a 15 minutes mini-lecture, and 45 minutes of free Q & A. Here you can bring your own research question, discuss data sharing, data repositories, data management plans, compute and storage or other data-related issues with data stewards and other experts from SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS.

Organiser(s): ELIXIR and SciLifeLab

Venue: Lindholmen Conference Center

Description:
This workshop will showcase how to leverage the Research Data Alliance (RDA) to support life science research today and what role the RDA and international data infrastructures can play in the transition to an increasingly data-driven research practice. It is organised by ELIXIR, NBIS and the Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and includes speakers on life science data & interoperability, stakeholder engagement, and liaison strategies with the RDA.

The workshop aims to promote and refine strategies for liaising with global communities and in particular the RDA to develop and adopt solutions for data-driven life science research. The intended audience is research communities, regional research infrastructures and cross-border infrastructure collaborations. However, registration is open to everyone who is involved in furthering shared principles and standards for life science research data. To accommodate a dynamic and diverse group of participants, the workshop is hosted as a hybrid event, accepting participants on-site in Gothenburg, Sweden or online via Zoom.

Date and time: Apr 18, 2023 - Apr 20, 2023

Organiser(s): NBIS

Venue: Navet, SciLifeLab, Uppsala

Description:
National course open for PhD students, postdocs, researchers and other employees in need of biostatistical skills within all Swedish universities. The course is geared towards life scientists wanting to be able to understand and use basic statistical and machine learning methods. It would also suit those already applying biostatistical methods but have never got a chance to reflect on and truly grasp the basic statistical concepts, such as the commonly misinterpreted p-value.

Due to limited space the course can accommodate maximum of 25 participants. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on several criteria. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance.NBIS prioritises academic participants (students, staff, affiliated researchers) in Sweden. We can accept participants from industry and/or outside Sweden if we have seats available and the requirements criteria are met.

Fee: 1500 SEK paid by invoice to NBIS. This includes lunches, coffee and snacks. Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals.
