“…To date, TeSS includes more than 6,000 training resources (including upcoming and past training events, and training materials) automatically aggregated from 30 content providers, including ELIXIR Nodes and third-party organisations, such as SWC/DC, GOBLET, Coursera, FutureLearn, etc . ; TeSS content also feeds into other dissemination services, such as iAnn widgets 6 and Biocider 7 . Training resources within TeSS are linked to content from other ELIXIR registries, such as tools in the bio.tools registry 8 , and databases, standards and policies from Biosharing 9 .…”

ELIXIR-UK is the UK node of ELIXIR, the European infrastructure for life science data. Since its foundation in 2014, ELIXIR-UK has played a leading role in training both within the UK and in the ELIXIR Training Platform, which coordinates and delivers training across all ELIXIR members. ELIXIR-UK contributes to the Training Platform’s coordination and supports the development of training to address key skill gaps amongst UK scientists. As part of this work it acts as a conduit for nationally-important bioinformatics training resources to promote their activities to the ELIXIR community. ELIXIR-UK also leads ELIXIR’s flagship Training Portal, TeSS, which collects information about a diverse range of training and makes it easily accessible to the community. ELIXIR-UK also works with others to provide key digital skills training, partnering with the Software Sustainability Institute to provide Software Carpentry training to the ELIXIR community and to establish the Data Carpentry initiative, and taking a lead role amongst national stakeholders to deliver the StaTS project – a coordinated effort to drive engagement with training in statistics.
