Highlights

 

BIF-IGS organizes a broad variety of courses, events and retreats in the categories “Network” and “Training”. One focus are courses in the field of “Information”, namely courses in programming. Usually “Information” courses are online formats, transferable skill courses may also come in an onsite format.

COURSES

There are courses that repeat every year (e.g., Python-courses) complemented by some that are organized “on demand” of the Doctoral Researchers.
BIF-IGS boasts itself a flexible course programme, carefully aligned to the needs of the Doctoral Researchers, e.g., the workshop “Agile Project Management” was tailored according to the feedback of the Doctoral Researchers.

We are particularly proud of our cooperation with the Graduate Schools “HIDSS4Health” and “IHRS BioSoft (FZJ)”, resulting in several of the “Information”-Courses and Lecture Series (marked *)
