Dear NFDI4lifescience Community,
de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany<https://www.denbi.de/> and GHGA<http://www.ghga.de/> (The German Human Genome Phenome Archive) is inviting you to the next episode of our joint Webinar Series: Building a RDM Ecosystem: The Role of de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany and how to use the de.NBI Cloud.
The German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI), alongside ELIXIR Germany, is building a robust Research Data Management (RDM) ecosystem for life sciences. They offer services, tools, and training, with a central component being the de.NBI Cloud. This federated national cloud, supported by the Competence Center for Cloud Technologies and Data Management (de.KCD), provides scalable compute and storage for big data and collaboration. The webinar offers a practical guide to the de.NBI Cloud, including the SimpleVM platform for easily managing virtual machines. Future efforts will focus on integrating the Cloud into RDM frameworks, implementing FAIR data principles, and expanding support for the secure and responsible handling of sensitive data.
This webinar is aimed at students, early career researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians and everyone interested in using the de.NBI Cloud.
The webinar will be held by Daniel Wibberg from Forschungszentrum Jülich (de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE) .
The event is in English, it takes approx. 60 minutes and will be held on 14th October 2025, 13:00 CET (available afterwards on demand<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXMwmQxyLByXU38-1aG7m-b1A6UADZcxw>). Attendance is free, but we ask for registration.<https://dkfz-de.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/zHWFDA3IToS6WkPjEFyaMg>

Dear colleagues and Bac/Dive/ users,
we would like to invite you to this year's Bac/Dive/ workshop, which
will take place
on *24th November 2025, 3 - 5 PM CET, online*.
This workshop will give a short introduction to the new Bac/Dive/
website and a first look at the soon-to-be-introduced genome browser.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, give feedback,
and contribute ideas.
The workshop will be held online, via Zoom. Further information and
login details will be sent out in November through the same mailing lists.
We look forward to discussing Bac/Dive/ with you!
Team Bac/Dive/

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the WiNoDa Online Winter School 2025, a five‑day, interactive programme designed to build practical data skills for researchers, curators and students working with natural science, archaeology and biodiversity collections.
About the Winter School
* Dates: 24–28 November 2025 (online)
* Organisers: German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio), Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (MfN), German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and the Vernetzungs‑ und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg (VuK), in cooperation with NFDI4Biodiversity.
* Goal: To provide a comprehensive introduction to research‑data management for object‑related datasets, covering the full data journey from data collection and standards to enrichment and publication
* Format: Expert lectures and hands‑on sessions across biodiversity, palaeontology, archaeology and related fields.
What you will learn
Participants will work with real collection data and learn to:
* Apply the FAIR data principles and meet data‑quality standards.
* Navigate and harmonise diverse collection databases, including understanding data types, standards and persistent identifiers.
* Enrich and visualise datasets and manage them efficiently using SQL.
* Understand how open data and the data economy drive innovation : reuse of existing datasets saves time and money, avoids duplication of experiments and allows researchers to draw new insights without repeating costly data collection.
Practical details
* Registration: Please register via our event page: https://events.gfbio.org/event/66/.
* Deadline: Registration is open until 15 October 2025
* Capacity: Participation is limited to 30 people, there is no fee
* Language: English
We encourage interested researchers, curators and students to apply early and join us for this unique opportunity to expand their data‑management skills and explore the value of data reuse. If you know colleagues who might benefit, please share this invitation widely across your networks.
For questions or further information, feel free to contact the WiNoDa Knowledge Lab team (winoda(a)gfbio.org<mailto:winoda@gfbio.org>).
We look forward to welcoming you online in November!
Best regards,
