Life Science research has become increasingly digital and has a direct influence on our daily life in areas such as health and medical applications, drug discovery, agriculture and food industry. It is one of the largest and fastest growing communities in need of high-end computing, leading to an increasing number of life science researchers who are not computing experts but who need to use complicated computationally intensive biomolecular modelling tools.
BioExcel aims to support these academic and industrial researchers in the use of high-performance computing (HPC) and high-throughput computing (HTC).
The BioExcel Training Programme has been developed from a competency-based training needs analysis. Our first step has been to draw up a list of things people need to know or be able to do to interact efficiently with the BioExcel services. This was done with the aid of the community and sent out for wider consultation.
The competencies has been mapped against existing training and new training courses and material will be developed to fill the gaps that were identified.
The BioExcel Training Programme includes face-to-face training events, webinars and a range of online tutorials and courses.
