The 2024 edition of the EMBL-EBI ‘Managing a bioinformatics core facility’ course was organised once more with the collaboration of RItrainPlus. The course took place on 29-31 October 2024 at EMBL-EBI training facilities in Hinxton, UK. In total, 14 managers
On Thursday, 27 February 2025, RItrainPlus organised a workshop in the frame of the Staff and Knowledge Exchange programme. This interactive workshop was co-organised by ELIXIR/EMBL-EBI, the Biodata Developers (BioDev) Network and the Wellcome Sanger Institute at the Wellcome Genome
Alejandro Failde, staff member of CiMUS (Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases), was granted an RItrainPlus bursary to carry out a staff visit at the CNIO’s Flow Cytometry Core Unit, part of CTLS (Core Technologies for Life
Research Infrastructures are often challenged with managing several EU-funded projects simultaneously. Projects with big budgets and multiple work packages and tasks can be challenging to manage and coordinate even for the more experienced RIs. Project Officer Liisa Ikonen from ICOS
