ELIXIR-UK Fellow launches Galaxy FAIR Training

22 June 2023

Katarzyna Kamieniecka, a member of the ELIXIR-UK Fellowship Programme, has just launched a new series of Galaxy Training Materials. She is aiming to improve FAIR data management in the life sciences with lessons designed to help researchers and research support staff understand and apply the principles of FAIR data management.

The lessons are available on the Galaxy Training Network’s website and cover three key topics through these tutorials:

  • FAIR in a nutshell. Provides a short introduction to the FAIR principles and their origin
  • FAIR data management solutions. Discusses a FAIR data management framework that can be used to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability of research data
  • FAIR Galaxy Training Material. Shows how to set and use existing resources to make Galaxy training development and content creation FAIR.

The lessons are available online and can be accessed by anyone. They are a valuable resource for anyone who wants to improve their data management practices.

Where can I learn more?

You can find out more about the new lessons on the ELIXIR-UK Fellowship site and its recommended resources page. You can also follow Katarzyna Kamieniecka on Twitter for updates on her work.

Her work is supported by the ELIXIR-UK: FAIR Data Stewardship Training UKRI award (MR/V038966/1).
