Overview

openBIS is a combined data management platform, Electronic Laboratory Notebook, and Inventory Management System. openBIS supports scientists meet requirements from funding agencies, journals, and academic institutions to publish data according to the FAIR data principles. Scientists can use openBIS to document their daily experimental or computational work, store any related experimental raw and derived data, and link everything to materials, samples and protocols stored in the lab inventory. The system ensures safe data storage and provenance tracking.

openBIS is open-source software distributed under the Apache v2.0 licence, developed by ETH Zurich Scientific IT Services (ETH SIS). Via the swissuniversities funded openRDM.swiss project, ETH SIS provides a data management service to the entire Swiss scientific community based on openBIS, either as a cloud-hosted version on SWITCHEngines or as a self-hosted version on local infrastructure.

This course is addressed to PhD and master students, post-docs and staff scientists working in experimental labs.
