Cohosting events with Australian BioCommons

We regularly support community members to organise and host events related to digital life science. Where there is a demonstrable benefit to life scientists and bioinformaticians, we assist colleagues to reach a national or international audience with their activities. To ensure the quality of each event, we work intensively with our event partners in all aspects of organisation.

Support can include:

• assistance with content creation

• advice on bioinformatics training best practice

• sourcing of expert facilitators

• collection and management of registration and evaluation data

• hosting and logistics of live online and in-person events

• provisioning of compute resources

• advertisement via extensive networks

• capture and sharing of events according to FAIR principles

We deliver training and public events of a consistently high standard, in line with international best practice and our funding obligations.

Australian BioCommons events must:

• be available to all suitable Australian life science researchers

• service researchers who are affiliated with an Australian research organisation or university

• be publicly advertised for a minimum of one month before the event

• acknowledge Australian BioCommons support through the use of our logo (in line with our brand guidelines)

• collect detailed data on attendance (in line with our privacy statement)

• be presented by an expert practitioner and have clear learning outcomes

• be recorded and made public on the Australian BioCommons YouTube channel along with the artefacts shared via the public Documents or Training Materials repositories (subject to negotiation)

• adhere to the Australian BioCommons code of conduct to create an inclusive and respectful environment.
