Workshop "Understanding the Biochemistry of Time" |
| 2026/02/02 - 2026/02/06 | The missing step between data collection and research progress is a lack of training for researchers in crucial skills for effectively managing and analysing data, often in large amounts. This hands-on workshop teaches researchers the fundamental data skills they need to conduct their work and provides high-quality, domain-specific training covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research. The domain-specific approach allows participants to tailor the data, content, and tools to reflect the specific data and analysis needs of different areas. | EMBL Course "Exploratory analysis of biological data: data carpentry"
European Molecular Biology Laboratory Barcelona, Spain
|
| 2025/12/04 - 2025/12/04 | This activity, facilitated by Philippe Bugnon, focused on the importance of using a Welfare Score Sheet as a structured tool
to assess and monitor animal welfare in a practical and objective way. Participants were introduced to the concept of developing
clear indicators that allow evaluators to measure welfare conditions consistently across different contexts.
