PROGRAM:
To manage the exponential rise in biological data and their relative metadata information, it has become necessary to submit raw data to ad-hoc public repositories. Publicly-available metabolomic datasets have hidden, true potential in the light of data reanalysis and integration. Therefore, there is an urgent need to make this biological data and information available to the entire plant scientific community.
The aim of this training school is to provide knowledge and tools on experimental design, metabolomics data and metadata management, as well as their upload to public repositories according to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles, and demonstrate how to reuse data already present in public repositories.
This online training school is divided into three modules.
The first module, open to the wider public, will be an introduction to the experimental design description, metabolomics data and metadata management. More information can be found on the Integrape Data Management web page.
The second module will address reusing the dataset previously presented to the public repositories by various informatic tools.
Finally, the third module will be focused on the step-by-step upload of a metabolomic study to the public repository of MetaboLights.

SELECTION CRITERIA OF TRAINEES
Participation in the introductory part I is open to a wider public. All are invited to register.
Evaluation of applications for the practical parts II and III will be based on the following criteria:
Priority will be given to those with the correct criteria among PhD students, early career researchers and others from COST member countries as well as MC Observers from Near-Neighbouring countries. Those with correct criteria from non-COST countries are also encouraged to apply. COST eligibility details are available on pages 27/28 of the COST Vademecum (LINK)
– Postdocs, PhD students, PIs and bioinformaticians working in metabolomics related to grapevine with a high motivation to spread these good practices learned during the training school.
– A maximum of 20 trainees will be selected for the practical parts II and III.
Selection of participants to the practical parts II and III will be made by COST Integrape local organisers on the basis of all submitted data:
- Motivation letter (pdf)
- Curriculum vitae (pdf)
The training school is free to attend, but as the training school will be online, travel expenses will not be reimbursed.
