We are happy to report that over the years of our fruitful collaboration with ELIXIR TeSS, all GTN materials should receive a perfect score on the FAIR-Checker.

This achievement is a reflection of our long standing and ongoing commitment to ensuring all of the materials you share with others via the GTN are automatically FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Of course the GTN goes further meeting criteria for FAIR/O, as all of our resources are shared with the community under an Open License.

Why the GTN?

Amongst other competitors in the bioinformatics training material repository space the GTN is unique, we are the only one (which we’re aware of!) receiving a perfect score on the FAIR-Checker.

two more radar plots, each receive approximately half the score. a few have axes they they are perfect on, but no one is perfect on all axes, unlike us. — **Figure 1**: Other platforms are still working towards FAIRness

For Tutorial Authors

We have made no new requirements for tutorial authors, simply by contributing a tutorial to the GTN which passes our linting, you can be sure it meets all relevant FAIR criteria due to our infrastructure and automation.

For Trainers

If you’re a trainer, you can be confident that all GTN materials you use in your training are FAIR. Please let your funders know you are meeting these criteria as well!

Thanks to the efforts undertaken in the EuroScienceGateway project, Galaxy now offers integration with Onedata. It can be used as a remote source for data import/export (a.k.a. Files Source Plugin) and as a storage location for Galaxy datasets (an Object Store). The integration includes BYOD (Bring Your Own Data) and BYOS (Bring Your Own Storage) templates.

@gtn:hexylena, as a key member of the phenomenally creative and passionate Galaxy Training Network team alongside @gtn:shiltemann and @gtn:bebatut, pioneered the concept of Training Infrastructure. In a world dominated by clunky virtual learning environments and expensive software, she built an open-source system that could seamlessly support individual users, trainers, and contributors across diverse disciplines and expertise levels.
