These training materials includes ready-to-use lessons and guidance for delivering a workshop on building reproducible and scalable scientific workflows with Nextflow.

Nextflow is a popular bioinformatics workflow orchestrator that supports portable, reproducible, and scalable analysis across different computational infrastructures. It enables the use of software containers, integration of tools written in different languages, and optimisation for varied data types and computing environments.

The content of these pages is designed to help other Trainers re-run and adapt Sydney Informatics Hub's Nextflow for the life sciences’ workshop for their own learners.

It will help you to:

• Explain the structure and purpose of the Nextflow for the life sciences workshop
• Deliver the workshop using the provided materials
• Support learners in building, running, and troubleshooting Nextflow workflows
• Adapt the workshop to suit different audiences, formats, and computational environments
• Evaluate and customise the materials for local training needs

• Training logistics
