Taxila
Taxila provides an overview of training, learning, and teaching materials for trainers and trainees. The trainings span from research data management to high performance computing to open science related topics. All material and events come from various training providers such as research performing institutions and training institutes.
Events
Events in Taxila include online and in-person training opportunities. These can be in the form of workshops, courses, webinars, conferences, and hackathons.

Training Workflows
New to Taxila are graphical training tools termed 'Training Workflows'. Three main types of workflow are in development: Educational Resources, Learning Pathways and Concept Maps. These encapsulate different types of, and/or approaches to, training, at different levels of granularity, within easy-to-use visual displays.
Learning Paths
In order to advance their skills, trainees need to embark on a path, or developmental trajectory. To facilitate this journey, learning paths aim to structure, within simple visual workflows, the set of relevant training resources that trainees need to study in order to accomplish their learning objectives. Learning paths are being developed by ELIXIR Taxila, ELIXIR-NL and ELIXIR UK.
Educational Resource
In this type of workflow, trainees are introduced to various practical tasks, linked to associated online tools and/or databases, within self-contained modules. Each module includes i) succinct statements of teaching goals and learning outcomes, to convey to trainees what they will be able to do on completion of the module; ii) a series of questions or ‘Reflections’ to provoke critical thinking about the tasks that have been completed; iii) additional background information and further reading to help support learning and enquiry; and iv) multiple choice quiz questions to evaluate understanding at the end. Educational Resources for introductory sequence and structural bioinformatics are currently being developed by ELIXIR Taxila, ELIXIR-UK and the UK Structural Bioinformatics group (via the FunPDBe project).

Widgets & API
To access Taxila data, organisations may readily import information about relevant events and materials to their site using widgets, or may create custom feeds using our API.

Taxila uses functional and LLM augmented scrapers to update its database (currently only in testing environment). It makes sure all data used is public information and is not used for other purposes. Underneath is a scheme of the data flow.
Elixir TeSS
Taxila is based on the Elixir TeSS website and could not have been realized as it is without the foundation of their work.
