These courses present a valuable opportunity for researchers and technicians in this field to further their experience.

This course is designed primarily for students and lab researchers who want to be introduced to bioinformatics concepts and analysis.  This course is not an advanced course for bioinformatists, but rather a starter course for researchers that want to have a better understanding of their data, gain more insights or to plan experiments better and maximise the analytics output.

Required competence level: basic knowledge of molecular biological methods.

Apply for fully EC-funded access to top class research infrastructures with AQUAEXCEL2020

14th Call for Access NOW OPEN!

On a regular basis, the AQUAEXCEL2020 project invites proposals from European research groups for scientific research that utilises the facilities of any of the participating aquaculture research infrastructures. The AQUAEXCEL2020 project unites major aquaculture experimental facilities with capacity to undertake experimental trials on a selection of commercially important fish aquaculture species and system types. These installations are made available to the research community for Transnational Access (TNA) with the support of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. Transnational Access involves a research group in one country collaborating with one or more AQUAEXCEL2020 Infrastructures that are located in a different country to the applicant, and which offer facilities and expertise not available in their own country.

 

Deadline: 7 June 2019
