BioNT Learning Path 2: Research Software Engineering

The Bio Network for Training (BioNT) is an international consortium of nine partners, including six academic institutions and three small and medium enterprises (SMEs), dedicated to advancing digital skills in the biotechnology and biomedical sectors. 

The aim of the BioNT consortium is to provide a high-quality training program and community for digital skills relevant to the biotechnology industry and biomedical sector.

The goals of the project's training model are to:

• Provide high-quality courses in two coherently designed curricula: for basic digital skills of staff and job seekers in healthcare and biotechnology, and empowering technological leaders and innovators.
• Positively impact course participants and their communities, supporting digital skills in SMEs and larger businesses in these sectors.
• Ensure sustainability beyond the project's duration, empowering individuals as well as their business-specific, sector-specific, language-specific, etc. communities. 

Learning Path 2: Research Software Engineering

This learning path develops the skills required to write, run, and maintain reproducible research software in the life sciences. It suits aspiring research software engineers and technical staff in small- and medium-sized enterprises. Learners begin with programming and computing fundamentals, advance to collaborative and FAIR software-development practices, and conclude with the administration of high-performance computing systems.
