Ready for BioData Management?17 is a capacity building programme for data management in the life sciences that started with a plan to host an event to raise awareness of data management plans. Data management experts were challenged to design a hands-on exercise supported by a home-made DMP-canvas.
ELIXIR-SI continues its activities through the core national group at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ljubljana, with main focus on data management, e-learning and wet-lab genomics. A major highlight is approval of a national project (ELIXIR-SI RI-SI-2) with a budget of €5.3 million.
A very well-received first event spawned a flagship programme, with an increasing variety of capacity building offers. Currently ELIXIR Portugal offers an introductory workshop for data management plans and advanced data management plans, and a class modules (Introduction to Data Management and Demystifying data management plans).
ELIXIR Slovenia continued the development and delivery of e-learning courses and webinars across Europe through the ELIXIR e-learning platform developed by ELIXIR Slovenia18. The e-learning team also developed the ELIXIR e-learning vision and strategy which is now being implemented within ELIXIR Programme 2019-2023. ELIXIR Slovenia staff was also involved in other ELIXIR Platforms and Communities, co-leading the Plant Sciences Community, and actively participating in the Compute Platform, Rare Diseases and other Human data communities. At national level, ELIXIR Slovenia developed a number of support services for the Slovenian community and are leading or partnering in several national and international grant applications.
