This workshop runs from 09:00 - 18:00 including breaks and lunch.Course Overview
This workshop will focus on supporting researchers to make full use of tools available for the dissemination of molecular data of Latin American origin. The workshop will be highly interactive. Participants will learn about the importance of open data to research, find out about global initiatives involving Latin American scientists, and work together to make Latin American biodata more discoverable. An important part of the workshop will be a hackathon in which we catalogue open data initiatives, data resources and tools made in Latin America, using a purpose-built wiki module. By the end of the workshop we hope to have nucleated a committed group of scientists with established procedures for the open publication of biomolecular data in Latin America.
Audience
This workshop is for bioinformatics researchers whose research depends on public data, and/or who are producing lots of data and need support on how to share their data appropriately.
Learning outcomes
- Match participants to the open data resources, tools and analysis techniques most suitable to their research
- Collaboratively build an openly accessible catalogue of resources, highlighting those that are ‘made in Latin America’
- Brainstorm strategies to improve the submission Latin-American molecular data
- Discuss how to manage sensitive data
