The conference in Freiburg is expected to attract around 250 international participants from a wide range of scientific fields - from biology and chemistry to ecology and meteorology. The Galaxy Community Conference 2019 starts with a Galaxy Training Day on Monday, July 1, 2019, followed by three conference days (July 2-4, 2019) with lectures and parallel Galaxy Workshops on a variety of topics, also for advanced users. This will be followed by a Collaboration Fest for two more days at the Konzerthaus (Core, July 5-6, 2019) and will be continued (Encore, July 7-8, 2019) at the University of Freiburg.
The possibilities offered by Big Data are fundamentally changing many research processes in the life sciences: manageable experimental set-ups are often replaced by analyses that correspond to hundreds of thousands of individual experiments. The Galaxy project offers researchers a comprehensive service: With the help of an easy-to-use online platform, they can independently use powerful computers for data analysis without any knowledge of programming. Bioinformatics at the University of Freiburg coordinates the operation of the Galaxy Europe server, which was launched in 2018, and offers online tutorials and training courses for users, administrators and developers - all free of charge and on an open source basis.
Galaxy was initiated at the US Penn State University and further developed at the University of Freiburg in the Collaborative Research Centre "Medical Epigenetics" and as part of the Deutsches Netzwerk für Bioinformatik-Infrastruktur (German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure) (de.NBI).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
