BITS

The ELIXIR Belgium node is getting established and bioinformatics expertise and resources from all the partnering universities and institutes are currently brought together into a new entity.

Therefore we are happy to announce the first ELIXIR-BE workshop on 7 and 8 November 2016. This workshop is aimed at researchers in the life sciences at all career stages and is designed for learners with little to no prior knowledge of Linux and command line tools, programming in R or biological networks in Cytoscape. This workshop is open for all scientists in Belgium.

More information and registration on the TRAINING AT VIB website.

At this moment, your GraphPad Prism installation is asking for an upgrade. A new GraphPad Prism license has been ordered.

In the week of 29th of August, we will provide instructions to all VIB scientists on how to upgrade your current GraphPad Prism license to the new one. This requires an upgrade of the software to version 7.

This new license is valid until 8th of September 2017.

Find out how VIB evaluated ELNs and improved documentation and collaboration with PerkinElmer’s E-Notebook solution.

Since 2009, E-Notebook has helped the Belgian life science research institute increase communication and collaboration among its 1500 scientists and researchers. The proof: a significant rise in publications co-authored by cross-disciplinary research teams at VIB.
