The PhenoMeNal consortium (through CRS4), along with the Universities of Cagliari, Jena and Cambridge are organizing the “Scientific School on Cloud-based Metabolomics Data Analysis and Collaboration” (http://cloudmet2017.crs4.it/), to be held in CRS4’s research campus in [Pula, Sardinia, Italy](http://s.crs4.it/EL) on September 11th-15th, 2017. The School will offer participants an opportunity to learn about current topics in metabolomics, with a slant on the integration of cloud computing technologies where they can be most beneficial to the effectiveness and efficiency of research and analysis work. The course will include lectures by experts and hands-on sessions aimed at deepening theoretical and practical knowledge, all while learning how to leverage cloud computing resources.
