Dear AgBioData Community,
Passionate about teaching, training, or improving agricultural research data practices? This one is for you!The AgBioData Consortium is launching a new
Education & Training Working Group.
Building on the success of the original Education Working Group—which developed the
AgBioData Curriculum for teaching FAIR data practices—we are expanding our efforts to create more accessible, practical, and community-driven training resources for researchers, educators, students, and database professionals. This next phase will focus on:
- Identifying AgBioData community training needs and priorities.
- Updating the AgBioData curriculum for diverse audiences.
- Developing a structured AgBioData certification program.
- Creating online training modules on bioinformatics data management, reporting, publication, and data submission best practices.
Participation requires approximately 2 hours per month for meetings, plus flexible offline contributions based on your interests and availability.
By joining this working group, you will:
- Help shape the future of AgBioData education and training.
- Earn authorship on publications, training modules, and other community outputs.
- Contribute your expertise in ways that fit your interests and schedule.
- Connect with a multidisciplinary network of researchers, educators, curators, and database professionals.
