Over the last few years bioinformatics is becoming a commodity that is
essential for modern-day biology and clinical research. As a result, many
research institutes, ranging from UMCs, universities and research oriented
companies are setting up ‘bioinformatics facilities’ that are aimed at
delivering state-of-the-art bioinformatics services, consultancy on data
management and stewardship, education, HPC coordination, and more. In this
meeting we would like to establish a dialogue among the bioinformaticians
that are involved in setting up and/or managing a bioinformatics facility
in order to learn from each other what the best practices are and pitfalls
that should be avoided. We will discuss concrete examples on what data
analyses to offer and how to run them efficiently. An important goal of the
meeting is to ensure we do not all develop different approaches to Data
Stewardship and do not waste time re-inventing wheels.

The Netherlands has one of the strongest bioinformatics communities in the
world. Let’s help each other out. Will you join?
