Research groups currently invest a lot of time and effort in creating and updating workflows\; the ability to translate from one workflow language into another can make them easier to share\, and ma intain with minimal effort. For example\, research groups that would like to run an existing Galaxy workflow on HPC\, or extend it for their use\, m ight find translating the workflow to Nextflow more suitable for their ong oing use-cases. \n\n[Janis](https://janis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.h tml#) is a framework that provides an abstraction layer for describing wor kflows\, and a tool that can translate workflows between existing language s such as CWL\, WDL\, Galaxy and Nextflow. Janis aims to translate as much as it can\, leaving the user to validate the workflow and make small manu al adjustments where direct translations are not possible. Originating fro m the Portable Pipelines Project between[ Melbourne Bioinformatics](https: //www.melbournebioinformatics.org.au/)\, the[ Peter MacCallum Cancer Centr e](https://www.petermac.org/)\, and the[ Walter and Eliza Hall Institute o f Medical Research](https://www.wehi.edu.au/)\, this tool is now available for everyone to use.\n\nThis workshop provides an introduction to Janis a nd how it can be used to translate Galaxy and CWL based tools and workflow s into Nextflow. Using hands-on examples we’ll step you through the proc ess and demonstrate how to optimise\, troubleshoot and test the translated workflows.\n\n**Learning outcomes:**\n\nBy the end of the workshop you sh ould be able to:\n\n* Recognise the main aspects and benefits of workflow translation\n* Use Janis to translated Galaxy / CWL tools &\; workflow s to Nextflow\n* Configure Nextflow to run translated tools &\; workfl ows\n* Troubleshoot translated Nextflow tools &\; workflow \n* Adjust t he translated Nextflow tools / workflows &\; complete missing translati ons manually\n\n**Lead Trainers:**\n\nGrace Hall\, Software Engineer\, Mel bourne Bioinformatics\n\nRichard Lupat\, Senior Bioinformatics Software En gineer\, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre\n\n**Date/Time**: 19 June 2023\, 1 - 4:30pm AEST/12:30 - 4:00pm ACST /11am - 2:30pm AWST \n\n**Format:**\n\nT his workshop will take place online. Expert trainers will introduce new to pics and guide you through hands-on activities in breakout rooms to help y ou put your new skills into action.\n\n**Who the workshop is for:**\n\nThi s workshop is for Australian researchers and bioinformaticians who are usi ng and/or customising workflows. You must be associated with an Australian organisation for your application to be considered.\n\nThe workshop will be conducted in a Unix environment. Command line experience is required. P rior experience with developing\, running\, and troubleshooting Nextflow w orkflows is strongly recommended. You may wish to attend our workshop[ Unl ocking nf-core - customising workflows for your research](https://www.bioc ommons.org.au/events/custom-nfcore) in advance.\n\nIf you’re looking for an introduction to the fundamentals of Nextflow and nf-core you can watch our webinar[ Portable\, reproducible and scalable bioinformatics workflow s using Nextflow and Pawsey Nimbus Cloud](https://youtu.be/VnLX63yXbJU) or recordings of recent[ nf-core training](https://www.youtube.com/c/nf-core ).\n\n**How to apply:**\nThis workshop is free but participation is subjec t to application with selection. \n\nApplications close at **11:59pm AEST\ , 4 June 2023**.\n\nApplications will be reviewed by the organising commit tee and all applicants will be informed of the status of their application (successful\, waiting list\, unsuccessful). Successful applicants will be provided with a Zoom meeting link closer to the date. More information on the selection process is provided in our[ advice on applying for Australi an BioCommons workshops.](https://www.biocommons.org.au/workshop-applicati ons)\n\n**[Apply here](https://janis-workshop.eventbrite.com.au/)**\n\n_Th is workshop is presented by the[ Australian BioCommons](https://www.biocom mons.org.au/) with the assistance of a network of facilitators from the na tional[ Bioinformatics Training Cooperative](https://www.biocommons.org.au /training-cooperative)._\n\n_This event is part of a series of[ bioinforma tics training events](https://www.biocommons.org.au/events).
