The training consists of one hour of presentations, followed by a hands-on exercise with a Virtual Machine. In the hand-on part the trainees integrate their VM to ELIXIR AAI as an OpenID Connect client to retrieve a GA4GH Passport. The client then presents the Passport to a Data API to authorise the API call and to stream a dataset. The VMs are available for the trainees for two weeks after the training.

This webinar introduces the CINECA (Common Infrastructure for National Cohorts in Europe, Canada, and Africa) project, which aims to develop a federated cloud enabled infrastructure to make population scale genomic and biomolecular data accessible across international borders, to accelerate research, and improve the health of individuals across continents. CINECA will leverage international investment in human cohort studies from Europe, Canada, and Africa to deliver a paradigm shift of federated research and clinical applications.
