Organizers: Celia van Gelder (DTL/ELIXIR-Netherlands), Gabriella Rustici
(University of Cambridge, ELIXIR-UK), Vera Matser (BioExcel), Allegra Via
(ELIXIR-Italy)
Target audience: Individuals working in training and education who are
interested in learning the state of the art about bioinformatics and data
science competency frameworks and their application to date.

Description
Much work is currently being done in developing and applying competency
frameworks, both in bioinformatics and in data science. 
In the context of ELIXIR Training, we aim to build on the existing expertise
in this area and, together with the training stakeholders, to derive a
proper implementation strategy.
This international workshop will bring together individuals from
organisations and projects who have expertise in defining and in applying
competency bioinformatics and data science frameworks in their own
organisations. 
In a series of interactive sessions, we will build on the existing knowledge
and work towards the following workshop goals:

*	Identify competency frameworks that are relevant to the ELIXIR user
community and learn about successful implementation examples of these
frameworks
*	Further define the relevant "personas" we are targeting with
(ELIXIR) training
*	Extract from the existing work a set of core competencies and sets
of KSAs (knowledge, skills and abilities) that can subsequently be used:

*	to map courses in TeSS, the ELIXIR Training Portal
*	to build a curriculum for a one-week Advanced Bioinformatics
Workshop (which will be part of the CODATA RDA Research Data Science Summer
school series)
*	to set the first steps towards defining routes through a specific
set of courses (learning paths)
