RAISE Science Webinar: a transparent way of sharing and processing data

Thursday, 13 July 2023

RAISE's mission is to provide an infrastructure that facilitates a decentralized system for processing data through crowdsourcing. This involves transitioning from utilizing open data to enabling open access data for processing. Instead of sending the data to the algorithm, RAISE enables the algorithm to be sent to the dataset. In this workshop, stakeholders will be introduced to an initial mock-up of RAISE’s unique approach that brings the processing algorithm (small in size) directly to the dataset (large in size), instead of requiring the dataset to be downloaded to the computer where the algorithm is located. An initial demonstration using wireframes will be done. The current mock-up is an interactive version that demonstrates the basic functionalities of the Research Analysis Identifier System. The navigation through basic features will help the participants understand better the system and, also, provide valuable insights for the improvement of user experience. The goal is to appreciate the value of not only accessing data, but also processing it conveniently: RAISE minimizes the time required to obtain results and enhances overall productivity, while simultaneously promoting transparency in sharing and processing data, as well as empowering researchers to publish their work with authenticated data analysis. Additionally, it ensures that their work receives proper accreditation. The mock-up presentation will be followed by a discussion to navigate stakeholders needs and requirements in processing data.

Galaxy: an open infrastructure for biological data analysis

Thursday, 03 December 2020

Athena Research Center (ARC), in the context of the new series of informative and educational workshops on COVID-19 research organised as part of the OpenAIRE National Open Access Desk and ELIXIR-Greece activities, invites you to an educational webinar on Galaxy - an infrastructure for biological data analysis. 

“Galaxy: an open infrastructure for biological data analysis”

When: Thursday 3 December 2020

Time: 12.30 - 14.30 p.m EET

Language of presentations: Greek

Target audience: Researchers, Health Professionals, Academic Staff, Librarians, Students

The webinar is held in collaboration with the Biomedical Sciences Research Center “Alexander Fleming” and the Institute of Applied Biosciences of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas. The purpose of the webinar is twofold: on the one hand to inform about best practices and tools developed for the scientific field of Biomedicine and Open Science, on the other hand to focus on implementation of best practices on data analysis through the Galaxy service while familiarising researchers with its functionalities and use. During the webinar, scientists and researchers will be able to understand the service’s basic functions as well as how they can use it in their research, focusing on COVID-19 activities. Furthermore, interactions with speakers are encouraged in the discussion session through posing questions and communicating use case scenarios that will strengthen compliance with global practices and will enhance the service’s utilization / exploitation by the Greek research community.
