National Bioinformatics Training Cooperative
Australian BioCommons uplifts bioinformatics trainers in Australia by fostering the National Bioinformatics Training Cooperative (the ‘Co-Op’). This community brings together training providers, managers, trainers (current and future) from research organisations, universities and infrastructure providers to deliver collaborative events that connect trainers and create new opportunities in bioinformatics training.

The Co-op organises, advertises and hosts activities to connect trainers with learners across the country and facilitate the broader sharing of training opportunities by pooling resources. Members get access to people and events that leverage our international and national partnerships to deliver best practice in bioinformatics training.
Members of the Cooperative meet regularly online with the BioCommons training team to hear about and contribute to activities, and to stay informed of networking and professional development opportunities, including the invitation to participate in delivering bioinformatics training to a national audience. An advisory group guides activities and programming choices. All activities are hosted and underwritten by the Australian BioCommons Training and Communications team.
