You can find details about the conference\, including registrati on information\, on the ECCB 2024 website. ELIXIR will be an ECCB sponsor  this year\, with the ELIXIR Communities/poster track and two workshops.  \n\nELIXIR workshops\n\nPractical and pragmatic FAIRification targeting ELIXIR Communities\n\n16 September 2024\, afternoon session (13:00–16:00 )\n\nThis workshop will equip participants with a systematic\, practical a nd easy-to-adopt approach to implementing the FAIR principles in research projects at any scale. The approach has been validated through a wide rang e of real-world applications across disciplines\, together with industry p artners. While the workshop will showcase worked examples from ELIXIR’s metabolomics community\, the learning will easily translate to other data types and methodologies. The overall aim of this workshop is to enable pr actical\, effective and scalable data sharing practices.\n\nNavigating the ELIXIR Genomic Data Highway: Applying population genomics to health resea rch\n\n17 September 2024\, afternoon session (13:00–16:00)\n\nJoin this webinar to learn about how to be part of the future of European genomic d ata. The European Genomic Data Infrastructure project (GDI) will build on the last 10 years’ efforts to advance common standards and open-source s olutions through the ELIXIR research infrastructure for life sciences\, fu nded by Member States and the EC. ELIXIR coordinates the GDI project to op erationalise the infrastructure across 24 countries\, aligning the 1+ Mil lion Genomes Initiative (1+MG) and ELIXIR efforts. Explore the technical a dvances and requirements to connect your institute.\n\nDiscover more abou t the workshops: eccb2024.fi/workshops-tutorials\n\nELIXIR members will al so be representing ELIXIR in the following workshops:\n \n Improving FAIR ability and reproducibility for research software with machine-actionable software management plans\n From zero to federated discovery: beaconise y our biomedical data\n Advancing synthetic data generation and disseminati on for life sciences\n Learn the essentials of research data management a nd microbial genome submissions\n \n\nELIXIR Communities track programme\n \nELIXIR Communities track programme talks will showcase Community activit ies\, as well as the benefits of being a member and of using ELIXIR resour ces\, including ELIXIR Recommended Interoperability Resources (RIRs)\, Cor e Data Resources (CDRs) and more. The track programme will also introduce three scientific areas outlined in the 2024–2028 ELIXIR Scientific Progr amme.\n\n\n Track programme\n\n ELIXIR 1: Wednesday 18 September\, 10:15 –11:15 \n\n \n The ELIXIR Cellular and Molecular Research Scientific P riority Area – Silvio Tosatto\n Bringing order to disorder – ELIX IR IDP Community – Gábor Erdős\n Scdrake: a reproducible and scalab le pipeline for scRNA-seq and SRT data analysis – Michal Kolář\n \n ELIXIR 2: Wednesday 18 September\, 14:45–15:45\n\n \n The ELIXIR Biod iversity\, Food Security\, and Pathogens Scientific Priority Area – Kath arina F Heil\n Increasing Plant data findability and reuse beyond ELIXIR – Maja Zagorscak\n Connecting and Embedding the ELIXIR Metabolomics Com munity in a Multi-Omics World – Nils Hoffmann\n \n ELIXIR 3: Thursday 19 September\, 10:15–11:15\n\n \n Empowering digital skills in Life Sci ences across sectors: BioNT's journey featuring ELIXIR – Isabela Pared es Cisneros\n Bringing Together Research Data Management Experts: Communi ty-Led Initiative by ELIXIR Europe –Nazeefa Fatima\n ELIXIR Goes Green : A Node-Driven Approach to Environmental Sustainability – Ingeborg Wi nge\n \n ELIXIR 4: Friday 20 September\, 09:00–10:00\n\n \n Using ELIXI R supported infrastructure to access human genomic data at scale – Mag da Chegkazi\n TrialMatchAI: An AI-powered Recommendation System for Match ing Cancer Patients to Clinical Trials – Majd Abdallah\n PolyGenie: E xploring Genetic Overlap in Diseases in the GCAT Cohort – Xavier Farr é\n \n\n\nFind out more\n\n For information on ECCB programme\, see the e ccb2024.fi/conference-programme\n For the ELIXIR Communities and poster tr ack\, contact: katharina.heil@elixir-europe.org or peter.maccallum@elixir- europe.org LOCATION:Junakatu 9 SUMMARY:ELIXIR at the ECCB 2024 URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.elixir-europe.org/events/elixir-eccb-2024 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
