Training at NBIS
NBIS offers training and workshops within the area of bioinformatics. The training events are primarily for PhD students, postdocs, investigators and other researchers at Swedish universities, but also for industrial researchers in Sweden. There is a small fee for the participants.
We offer both introductory level training events as well as niched and advanced level training events within specialized research and/or technology areas.
Please note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. The training content is estimated to correspond to a certain number of credits; however, the estimated credits are just guidelines. If formal credits are important, you need to confer with your home department before submitting a course application to establish if the course is valid for formal credits or not.
Population genomics in practice
More info
The aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction to commonly used methods in population genomics. As the focus of the course is on hands-on work, the topics have been designed to cover the fundamental analyses that are common in many population genomics studies. The course consists of lectures and exercises, with a focus on the practical aspects of analyses. Whereas lectures introduce some background theory, their primary aim is to set the stage for accompanying exercises.NBIS/ELIXIR-SE Tools for Reproducible research
More info
This course aims to help researchers make their computational analysis more reproducible. One of the key principles of proper scientific procedure is the act of repeating an experiment or analysis and being able to reach similar conclusions. Reproducible research not only leads to proper scientific conduct, but also enables other researchers to build upon previous work. Most importantly, the person who organizes their work with reproducibility in mind will quickly realize the immediate personal benefits: an organized and structured way of working. The person that most often has to reproduce your own analysis is your future self!In addition, we offer PhD students a 2 year long mentoring program with a senior bioinformatician Swedish Bioinformatics Advisory Program.
NBIS is also offering Tailor-made training events – courses or workshops that are tailored to your specific needs, to the same price as fee based support.
