Other ; In this era of big data, new skills and competences are needed for life scientists, technologists and data experts. Many people with heterogeneous backgrounds have to be trained. By combining the education expertise present in the Netherlands we work towards establishing a comprehensive, internationally acclaimed and sustainable training and education course portfolio for Life Sciences Research & Technology with a focus on training in new technologies and data integration and stewardship. Our efforts cross bridges between disciplines, application domains, European research infrastructures (ESFRIs and e-infrastructures). Examples of our activities include trainings and training collaborations in: Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BioSB Research School) Software and Data Carpentry (DTL, Netherlands eScience Center, SURFsara) Metabolomics (DTL and Netherlands Metabolomics Centre) Proteomics (DTL, Netherlands Proteomics Community) NGS (DTL NGS Interest Group, Metagenomics Platform) Galaxy (DTL, ELIXIR-NL, VU Amsterdam, LUMC, ErasmusMC, BBMRI, TraIT) Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) workshops (DTL, ELIXIR-NL) Data Stewardship, Data Management, FAIR Data training (DTL, ELIXIR-NL, LERU, Elsevier) Defining competences and skill sets (DTL, ELIXIR-NL, EDISON) HPC and Cloud (DTL, ELIXIR-NL, SURFsara) Generic data science (ELIXIR-NL, RDA-CODATA, EDISON) For all this training areas, we are not only collaborating in the Netherlands, but are also actively engaging and aligning efforts with collaborators in Europe (e.g. VIB in Belgium and SIB in Switzerland) and abroad (e.g. GOBLET and RDA-CODATA). Furthermore, ELIXIR-NL is co-leading the ELIXIR Training Platform. All our training activities are open to all and we welcome new collaborations
