ELIXIR Communities enable the participation of communities of practice in different areas of the life sciences in the activities of ELIXIR, which underpin the evolution of a data, tools, interoperability, compute and training infrastructure for European life science informatics. Visit the ELIXIR Communities website for more details.
You are invited to join the Microbial Biotechnology Community Annual (online) workshop. The workshop presents an opportunity to learn about the most recent Community activities (including its Implementation study), engage with other Community members and co-leads.
Microbial biotechnology designs and builds new strains of microbes that can produce chemical building blocks, food supplements, novel medicines and fuels to replace fossil fuels. As such, biotechnology can play a huge role in the bioeconomy and can help tackle climate change, achieve a clean environment, foster industrial innovation, and ensure food security. Since, a formal framework for microbial biotechnology to manage and manipulate strains, samples, knowledge, data and metadata is still lacking, the ELIXIR Microbial Community takes the Design - Build - Test - Learn (DBTL) cycle as a starting point for its key objectives (for more information have a look at the Community webpage (Microbial Biotechnology Community).
This meeting will be held virtual and is free to attend, registration is required.
