Events

Mark your calendars for 03-05 November 2026 in Heidelberg! GHGA spokespersons, team members, and our Scientific Advisory Board will come together to celebrate achievements, share updates, and plan future work.

How do polygenic risk scores change the way we approach genetic discrimination? At the GHGA Annual Meeting 2026, Prof. Bartha Knoppers explores the ethical and societal challenges of an increasingly genomic future.

Join the next de.NBI and GHGA webinar to discover how GHGA’s production-level bioinformatics workflows, DROP and Spotlight, analyze multi-omics data to drive rare disease genomic discoveries.

DataPLANT hosts the NFDI4LifeScience Conference in conjunction with the International Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics from 2 – 4 September 2026 at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben.

Organised by de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE, the BioHackathon Germany brings together life scientists, bioinformaticians, and data stewards for an intensive week of collaborative hacking - covering FAIR, identifiers, metadata standards, ontologies and metadata catalogues.

Becca Wilson from the Newcastle University presented "DataSHIELD: Secure Data Science Collaboration". Recording available.

GHGA webinar ‘A Beginners Guide to DNA and Sequencing’ will be held on 30 June 2022. The event will give an introduction to Genome Biology, Sequencing and how bioinformatics workflows will be used within GHGA.

Annette Peters from the Helmholtz Munich and Ludwigs Maximilian University Munich presented "The German National Cohort - Overall study design and OMICS concept". Recording available.

CSAMA 2022 is a one week intensive summer school on Statistical Data Analysis for Genome-Scale Biology. The course is co-organized by Bioconductor and GHGA member Wolfgang Huber. GHGA is an academic supporter of the event.

GHGA will hold its first training course, FAIR in (biological) practice, from 30.05-02.06.2022. This virtual hands-on workshop is co-organised together with EMBL Bio-IT and will teach the FAIR principles, what this means in practice and how they can be integrated into ...

Barbara Prainsack from the University of Vienna, and King's College London presented "How can data-driven practices in biomedicine contribute to healthy societies? Empirical and healthy conceptual considerations". Recording available.
