Registration for Satellite meetings
We are also very happy to confirm that registration is now open for two exciting satellite meetings:
- ELIXIR Beacon Workshop
- Satellite meeting for training and data searching
The ELIXIR Beacon Workshop will bring together experts from ELIXIR and GA4GH to discuss the three-level data access model that aims to provide scaleable and secure query interface especially for the sensitive human data. The agenda includes speakers from both ELIXIR and GA4GH Beacon projects to ensure compatibility of the technical, policy and regulatory frameworks. Sign up for the workshop here. The Satellite meeting for training and data searching will comprise two parts:
The training part of this satellite meeting will highlight and bring together the BD2K TCC and the ELIXIR training platform and their respective training portals, TCC portal and TeSS ELIXIR training portal. During this meeting we will identify synergies between these and discuss potential collaboration. Join us if you are interested in training, interoperability, integration and promotion of training information.
The data searching section of the satellite will focus on three aspects concerning metadata and align with the forthcoming FORCE2016 meeting; micro tagging for indexing and discovery; federated metadata searching; and a hands-on 'searchathon'.
