Dear BBC-list colleagues, We are happy to announce that the application is now open to participate in the *EMBO Practical Course | Research to Service: Planning and Running a Bioinformatics Core Facility* <https://tinyurl.com/EMBObioinformaticscore>, taking place on-line on October 04-08, 2021. The course is aimed at newly appointed managers of bioinformatics core facilities, specially those with one foot in the research camp, or those managers willing to stabilize and grow their services. The training setting will provide an opportunity to learn from experienced core facilities managers on how to build a framework for the future development, resourcing, operation and impact assessment of your core services. By the end of the course, participants will have learned how to: *     Identify the strengths and limitations of their core facility and prioritise areas for improvement *     Design bioinformatics services and training using a user-centred approach and assuring best practices *     Estimate the computing and human resources required to operate their facility effectively *     Support users to manage their data, including sensitive data *Course applications will be open until June 30, including the option to apply for**registration fee waivers and childcare grants*: https://tinyurl.com/EMBObioinformaticscore <https://tinyurl.com/EMBObioinformaticscore> We would be grateful if you could spread the word within your contacts.
