This year, the Austrian Bioinformatics Workshop took place on July 3, 2024, at the Medical University of Graz. The workshop itself was embedded in the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the Center for Medical Research (ZMF) at the Medical University of Graz. In collaboration with the Austrian Bioinformatics Platform, a series of keynote speakers, exciting presentations, and social activities were offered. The topic of national research infrastructures and facilities for bioscience data was also addressed, including the new ELIXIR node Austria.

Research data management and the application of FAIR principles in bioinformatics were also represented this year. Representatives of the Shared RDM Services & Infrastructure project were therefore invited to present their latest findings. In keeping with the background of the event, insights into the work of the Austrian Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) community, which emerged from the collaboration between the universities involved in the Shared RDM project, were provided. The workshop featured a presentation of the ELN solution eLabFTW and a prototype of compact software that uses the eLabFTW API to automate certain tasks for researchers, thereby increasing the accessibility and findability of research data and metadata.

If you are interested in the Shared RDM project or directly in the work of the ELN community, please get in touch.
