The eTRIKS are holding their event titled “Building a multi-disciplinary community of Translational Researcher and Bioinformaticians” on 15-16^th May 2017 at the Hesperia Tower Hotel in Barcelona, Spain

In this meeting Data Scientists and translational researchers will work together to build a common understanding of today’s research data challenges. The aim is to find ways to help fulfil the promise of better health through the optimal use of data.This meeting is being organised by IMI funded project eTRIKS, which over the course of 4 years has helped 41 translational research projects to get more value out of their data. It has become apparent over the course of those 4 years that the awareness about data infrastructure that is available for Translational Research is lacking.Thus, the 2 main themes of the meeting are: understanding the landscape of Bioinformatics infrastructure and how to reduce fragmentation, and giving Translational Researchers the knowledge and the tools they need to collaborate on making sense of Translational Research data faster.
