DESCRIPTION:**This course is now full with a long waiting list. If you do n
 ot want to miss your chance to be part of the next session and remain info
 rmed about all training activities at SIB\, we highly recommend you to kee
 p an eye on our list of[ upcoming events](https://www.sib.swiss/training/u
 pcoming-training-courses) and subscribe to our [courses mailing list here]
 (https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses) (if not yet done). Than
 k you for your understanding. **\n\n# Overview\n\nReproducible analysis in
  bioinformatics goes beyond good documentation and sharing code. Often\, a
 nalyses depend on an entire environment with many different programs\, lib
 raries and settings. For the sake of reproducibility\, but also for produc
 tivity\, you might want to store\, reuse\, and share your environments usi
 ng container software such as Docker and Singularity. Containerization is 
 a lightweight and scalable way of working with such isolated environments.
  For example\, with Docker you can develop\, store and manage environments
  based on Linux operating systems which can run in mostly any computer. \n
 \nOften\, bioinformatic calculations also require large memory and CPU res
 ources\, therefore you might want to use a shared computer environment (e.
 g. a HPC cluster). However\, to run Docker you need to have privileged rig
 hts (i.e. as root)\, which is not the case for Singularity\, a program tha
 t enables you to run environments from a wide range of resources (includin
 g Docker) in a safe manner without the need for privileged access. Combini
 ng Singularity and Docker thus makes you extremely flexible in how\, when 
 and where you use your computer environments and those of others. \n\nTo i
 ntroduce you to working with containers in the context of bioinformatics r
 esearch\, we will take a practical approach with several hands-on exercise
 s to go through the basics of using\, developing and sharing containers.\n
 \nThe course materials can be found in the dedicated [GitHub page](https:/
 /sib-swiss.github.io/containers-introduction-training/latest/).\n# Audienc
 e\nThis course is addressed to bioinformaticians and life scientists that 
 are doing bioinformatic analyses and want to get introduced to containers.
 \n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the end of the course\, the participants are e
 xpected to:\n* Understand the basic concepts and terminology associated wi
 th virtualization with containers\n* Customize\, store\, manage and share 
 containerized environments with Docker\n* Describe and understand the esse
 ntial differences between Docker and Singularity\n* Use Singularity to run
  containers on a shared computer environment (e.g. a HPC cluster)\n\n# Pre
 requisites\n##### Knowledge / competencies\nThis course is designed for th
 ose interested to work with containers in the context of bioinformatics. P
 ractical experience on the basic UNIX commands is required. You can test y
 our skills with Unix with the quiz [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/
 e/1FAIpQLSd2BEWeOKLbIRGBT_aDEGPce1FOaVYBbhBiaqcaHoBKNB27MQ/viewform?usp=sf
 _link). If you do not feel comfortable with UNIX commands\, you can refres
 h your knowledge with our [Unix fundamentals](https://edu.sib.swiss/course
 /view.php?name=UNIX_I) e-learning module.\n\n##### Technical\nYou are requ
 ired to bring your own laptop with [Docker pre-installed](https://docs.doc
 ker.com/get-docker/)\, and have created an account on [dockerhub](https://
 hub.docker.com/). Note that you need admin rights in your computer to inst
 all and use Docker. In addition\, Windows users require a recent version o
 f [Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/). \n\n# Sc
 hedule \nThe schedule and course material are in the dedicated [GitHub pag
 e]( https://sib-swiss.github.io/containers-introduction-training/latest/co
 urse_schedule/\n ).\n# Application\n\n\n**This course is now full with a l
 ong waiting list.**\n\nSIB courses usually open for applications 1-2 month
 s before the course takes place. If not yet done\, I suggest you sign up f
 or our mailing list [here](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/course
 s) so that you are informed when the courses accept applications as some c
 ourses fill up very quickly. \n\nRegistration fees for academics are **60 
 CHF** and **300 CHF** for for-profit companies. While participants are reg
 istered on a first come\, first served basis\, exceptions may be made to e
 nsure diversity and equity\, which may increase the time before your regis
 tration is confirmed.\n\nApplications will close as soon as the places wil
 l be filled up. Deadline for free-of-charge cancellation is set to **12 Oc
 tober 2022**. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. Please 
 note that participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general conditio
 ns](http://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nYou will be in
 formed by email of your registration confirmation. Upon reception of the c
 onfirmation email\, participants will be asked to confirm attendance by pa
 ying the fees within 5 days.\n\n# Venue and Time\nThis course will only be
  streamed. \n\n\nThe course will start at 9:00 CET and end around 17:00 CE
 T. Precise information will be provided to the participants in due time.\n
 \n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Diana Marek\n\nWe will recomm
 end 0.25 ECTS credits for this course (given a passed exam at the end of t
 he course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to the SIB courses mailing list
  to be informed of all future courses and workshops\, as well as all impor
 tant deadlines using the form [here](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listi
 nfo/courses).\n\nPlease note that participation in SIB courses is subject 
 to our [general conditions](http://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-condit
 ions).\n\nSIB abides by the [ELIXIR Code of Conduct](https://elixir-europe
 .org/events/code-of-conduct). Participants of SIB courses are also require
 d to abide by the same code.\n\nFor more information\, please contact [tra
