Learning Materials for Bioscientists

Here you can find verious course materials, e-learning materials, tutorials, and webinar recordings for bioscientists.

For upcoming courses, see our training calendar. For e-learning materials, check our course offering on e-Lena platform. On CSC Docs platform, we have a learning material bank and lots of tutorials on various subjects, including bioinformatics.

You may find useful trainings and materials also on ELIXIR's TeSS portal.
