== Training ==

Different types of training activities are supported and organized by de.NBI. First of all, the summer schools provide training courses for undergraduate and [[graduate students]] in specific topics related to one or several de.NBI centers. The respective centers organize tool-specific training. These trainings are attached to existing conferences or organized independently. In addition, online training was introduced on the de.NBI website in 2016. Since 2017, online training formats like [[hackathon]]<nowiki/>s or [[webinars]] are offered by all service centers.

The de.NBI training program started in 2015 with 17 f2f training courses with 329 participants, steadily increasing to 79 courses with 1586 Participants in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, the practical delivery of training was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the development of online training and materials (40 courses with 1,149 participants in 2020) enabled 2,128 training participants to be upskilled in 49 courses in 2021. A total of 9,076 scientists have been trained in 371 courses through our bioinformatics network to date (as of January 2022).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-02-24 |title=de.NBI Quarterly Newsletter 01/22 |url=https://www.denbi.de/downloads/21-about/1362-newsletter-27 |url-status=live |access-date=2022-03-22}}</ref>
