Dear all, We are excited to share the success of our recently delivered course on spatial omics data analysis – a collaborative effort powered by the ELIXIR Single-Cell Omics (SCO) Community. Spatial omics is revolutionizing bio/medical research by offering unprecedented insights into the spatial context of gene expression. However, with these exciting opportunities comes the challenge of analyzing increasingly complex datasets. This hands-on training brought together 14 expert trainers from across Europe (from ELIXIR-BE, ELIXIR-CH, ELIXIR-DE, ELIXIR-GR, ELIXIR-ES, ELIXIR-NL, and ELIXIR-SE) to empower data analysts with the skills needed to harness the full potential of spatial omics data analysis. Thanks to the support from the ELIXIR Staff Exchange, the event was not only a success in knowledge sharing but also a really nice example of international collaboration. Participants appreciated the balanced mix of theory and hands-on practicals – with one attendee noting, “Thank you for an excellent, extremely useful course! All of the trainers were friendly and answered questions very clearly. I would recommend this course to colleagues.” This positive feedback reinforces the value of a well-organized, safe and collaborative training environment that truly supports data analysts in the field. All course materials are now freely available and reusable on GitHub<https://elixir-europe-training.github.io/ELIXIR-SCO-spatial-omics/>, including videos on the SIB Training YouTube channel<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxHnvy2HZSYlnFo0LhxO1irgDby6hV-On> as well. Whether you are a researcher, student, or trainer keen on exploring the rapidly evolving world of single-cell and spatial omics, these resources are for you! We invite you to dive into the course content, share your thoughts, and join our ELIXIR Single-Cell Community<https://elixir-europe.org/communities/single-cell-omics>, to continue building a sustainable spatial omics data analysis training capacity. Best regards, Alex On behalf of the ELIXIR Single-Cell Community
