The SIB Training Group ensures that the next generation of bioinformaticians and life scientists make the best of the latest advances in the field of computational biology.
Focus on the group's mission
The SIB Training Group coordinates the institute’s bioinformatics training and course offer. Throughout its activities, it ensures that the next generation of bioinformaticians and life scientists make the best of the latest advances in computational biology.
Addressing training needs
From in-person and streamed classes to openly accessible recordings and e-learning modules, a range of regularly updated contents and topics are provided. They are designed to closely match the bioinformatics training needs of all life science actors, from the academia or the private sector, including PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and health professionals.

International collaborations
The Training Group collaborates in pan-European and international training projects, together with the broader bioinformatics community of ELIXIR, GOBLET and ISCB. For instance, the Training group is co-leading the following projects:
BY-COVID WP6: the work package coordinating the training and capacity-building of COVID-19 Data Hub users and data providers.
ELIXIR-CONVERGE WP2: the work package building a programme in Data Management across ELIXIR Nodes.
Train the trainer: the ELIXIR and GOBLET programme which empowers researchers to deliver high-quality training.
In the Training Committee, the strategic outlook and the concept of the Training activities are discussed and decided upon. It is composed of the leaders of the groups most involved in training activities at SIB, namely:
