As in previous years, Galaxy Training Academy is an asynchronous, self-paced global learning event open to participants from all around the world – beginners and advanced learners alike.
If you would like to learn more about data analysis skills in Galaxy, Python programming, Transcriptomics, Microbiome analysis, Genome Assembly, and many other topics, make sure to save the date! Over the course of one week a diverse selection of learning tracks for you are offered.
The online event takes place on May 18 – 22, 2026. Registration opens on March the 6th and the places fill up quickly.
For details & registration follow Galaxy Training Academy webpage: https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/events/2025-05-18-galaxy-academy.html
The course will assume jobs to be run on usegalaxy.eu infrastructure (to enable instructors to examine the error logs and provide help and guidance in the training academy chatroom. However, any Galaxy adapted software packages and workflows of interest can also be added to University of Tartu Galaxy instance, if not already present. For software installation requests contact support@hpc.ut.ee
If you would like to make most of the wide scope of bioinformatic content of the course, but are new to Galaxy environment concepts, features and tricks you are welcome to post your expression of interest in a beginner level crash course to galaxy@hpc.ut.ee

Join us for the Data Science Seminar “Driving Innovation with High-Performance Computing” on November 26 at the Delta study building in Tartu.
The UT Institute of Computer Science and the UT High-Performance Computing Centre invite all those interested to discover the exciting world of supercomputers, high-performance computing, and their possible uses.
At the seminar, we will hear inspiring presentations about how experts in various fields use supercomputers and what benefits they can get from it. Read more and register for the seminar!
We invite you to the 4th Baltic HPC and Cloud Computing Conference in Riga on April 11-12, 2024. This conference will be especially relevant for different research communities that use HPC, including students, HPC experts, and industry.
The event is organised by National HPC Competence Centres (NCCs) in Latvia (SuperS), Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden (ENCCS), Finland (CSC), and Denmark (DK-NCC) within the framework of the EuroCC 2 project. Participation is free of charge.
Conference programme is available here. Registration is now open.
We are pleased to invite you to the in-person event “Urban digital Twin”, which will take place on December 6th 2023 in Cineca (Via Magnanelli 6/3, Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna ITALY).
The event is organized within the twinning of EUROCC competence centers among Italy, Germany, and Estonia, and aims to provide an overview of the state of the art of urban digital twin technologies and the available tools for implementation.
After the presentation of three use cases of the digital twins of Bologna, Stuttgart and Tallinn there will be an industrial section where technology-supplying companies will showcase the most innovative tools available on the market. It will conclude with a matchmaking session between companies and experts to exchange best practices and lay the groundwork for future projects. The event is aimed at experts, professionals and companies.
The registrations are open, and it is possible to enroll through this form.
You can see also the poster of the event for additional details.
We invite you to attend a webinar that provides an overview of services provided by the University of Tartu HPC centre – the headnode of ETAIS (Estonian Scientific Computing Infrastructure) – and open a floor for extensive discussion.
The webinar University of Tartu HPC Centre / ETAIS platform introduction will take place on Apr 28, 2023 10:00-12:00 AM (EEST).
The topics covered will include:
- Services provided by University of Tartu HPC centre and ETAIS (Resources, self-service, job monitoring, roadmap and partnerships) - Ivar Koppel, Head of ETAIS
- Navigation of the user portal and requesting assistance - Anne Vomm, UTARTU HPC support coordinator
- Secure compute solution with log monitoring for sensitive data / data cage – Sander Kuusemets, UTARTU HPC Infrastructure team lead
- Specialized solutions for genomic data (imputation server and encryption protected data archival) - Vlad Tuzov, Dev-Ops at UTARTU HPC centre
We value a free discussion environment and the event will not be recorded.
The webinar will be held in English.
High performance computing (HPC) is the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds. HPC, or supercomputing, paves the way for new innovations in science, technology, business and manufacturing. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can hugely benefit from these technologies as HPC systems increase competitiveness while saving time and money. Thus, HPC can be used to generate new business value.
Join the webinar and learn more about:
- What is high performance computing and why is it important
- What benefits does HPC provide to SMEs
- How can SMEs get access to Estonian and Finnish HPC infrastructure
- Use cases from both countries
The webinar will be held in English.
Participation is free of charge.
