Galaxy is supported by a large and active community distributed across the globe, which leads to rapid developments in every release. However, many of this features remain unknown by most of the users.

With this series of four webinars, the global Galaxy community will present such advanced features, touching upon workflows, data processing and management, interoperability and interactive tools, among others. (This is independent of the Galaxy Webinar Series.) 

These events will run between 3 and 24 March 2021 and will be chaired by Hans-Rudolf Hotz.
