Amsterdam Science Park Study Group
LET'S MAKE RESEARCH FASTER, BETTER AND MORE OPEN!
EVENTS
A workshop on data vizualization organised jointly with the UvA Data Science Center.
Details (Zoom link) to be announced later.
An afternoon dedicated to the SILS/IBED Crunchomics computing cluster. After a small introduction to the Crunchomics system, a demonstration of how to connect to crunchomics and how to execute a genomic pipeline will be given.
We will guide you regarding connection using the ssh protocol, navigating the file system using Shell commands and how to create an environment dedicated to your needs using conda. We will then dig deeper by introducing the SLURM queuing system for batch jobs.
!! Important !! Please follow the instructions here to make sure that you have a working installation of the Unix Shell.

WHAT WE DO
The Amsterdam Science Park Study Group is dedicated to building a community of computational scientists in biology and other disciplines.
This Amsterdam Science Park Study Group promotes skill sharing and collaboration by :
- organizing interactive coding workshops following the Carpentries Foundation.
- regularly organising themed co-working sessions on specific topics (data visualisation, image analysis, etc.).
- bring researchers together to build dedicated tools (Shiny apps, genomic pipelines, etc.) regardless of their institute, research teams, etc.
All are welcome regardless of their scientific research area, affiliation or training level.
