Two workshops are planned for interacting with the target community. In these workshops, we will present our results, gather requirements, and explore avenues by which external stakeholders may take advantage of the transPLANT project. Round table discussions will be scheduled to promote exchange of perspectives and generate mutual feedback on the material presented.

Previous meetings

Title Description Location Start date Type
transPLANT user training workshop

The workshop focused on triticeae (wheat and barley mainly) data resources and tools, and include tutorials on data access and use from INRA, EBI-EMBL, IPK and MIPS.

This workshop was targeted at (experimental) biologists, breeders, bio-informaticians and all other data users as no prior (informatics) knowledge or skills are required.

 INRA URGI campus, Versailles, France Monday, November 12, 2012 to Tuesday, November 13, 2012 Workshop
Training workshop in plant pathogenic genomics

A hands-on training workshop in plant pathogenic genomics, focused on the new resource PhytoPath and including coverage of Ensembl Fungi, Ensembl Protists and PHI-base will be held at the EBI in September, aimed at PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who are working on fungal and oomycete-induced disease in plants.

 EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SD, UK Wednesday, September 19, 2012 to Thursday, September 20, 2012 Workshop
Crop Plant Trait Ontology Workshop, Oregon State University

The goals of the workshop are to develop ontology terms and definitions for the Plant Ontology (http://www.plantontology.org/) and the Reference Plant Trait Ontology (under development) and applications that utilize those resources.

The ultimate goal is to establish a semantic framework for meaningful cross-species queries across gene expression and phenotype data sets from plant genomics and genetics experiments.

 Oregon State University Thursday, September 13, 2012 to Saturday, September 15, 2012 Workshop
Crop Ontologies for Agronomic Traits

A meeting to discuss the potential application of trait and phenotype ontologies to describe agronomic traits in crop plants.

 Hinxton, UK Thursday, December 8, 2011 to Friday, December 9, 2011 Workshop
