A big part of the project is running a series of training events for the Latin American audience, something that began with the centralised events team within EMBL-EBI, but is now increasingly being operated in Latin America by the partners themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CABANA has virtualised its training programme for the rest of 2020 and has committed to a fully virtual 2021 programme too.
