Good AI models require lots of high-quality training data. Jo McEntyre, Interim Director of EMBL-EBI, highlights how open, expert-curated data is driving the next generation of life sciences: from AlphaFold to AI-assisted data curation.

'Byte-sized green computing' is our free virtual training course, running across four sessions between 2–30 November 2026. Registration is free but limited, and places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve...

– Green continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) – Metrics for monitoring software emissions efficiency – CATS: the Climate Aware Task Scheduler – nf-co2footprint: estimating the carbon footprint of Nextflow pipelines

Funders: The organisation of this event is supported by the Wellcome Trust (Green Algorithms Initiative), the University of Cambridge, NetDRIVE, and the STEP-UP project. @loiclnlg.bsky.social 🖥️📊🧬🌱

The environmental impact of computing is an increasingly important and recognised issue: growing demand for digital services, data storage, high-performance computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings greater resource use and associated impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions.

This series of “byte-sized” training events will offer four tailored sessions focused on practical actions that participants can implement in their work to monitor, minimise and report its environmental impact.

In this webinar, we will present new technologies developed at EMBL Grenoble enabling fully automated, large-scale fragment and ligand screening and their application to the study and validation of key targets with strong therapeutic potential in infection biology. www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve... 🧬🖥️📊
