Participants will learn how to install, configure, customize, and extend
their own Galaxy servers. Topics include tool configuration, authentication
and user management, using heterogeneous storage and compute services, and
many other topics that will enable you to get your own Galaxy server up and
running, performing well, and used by your community. Have a look at the
programme

to
see more details on the planned content of the workshop.

*Maximum number of participants is limited to 30, and we will manage
registrations to allow for geographical distribution and proritize
participants with responsibility of administrating galaxy servers.* After
registering you will get a second confirmation if/when a slot has been
allocated to you.

Although located in Europe, and named to reflect this, the workshop is
definitely *open to a world-wide audience.* The workshop is a result of the
collaboration between the Elixir Galaxy WG
<https://www.elixir-europe.org/about/groups/galaxy-wg> and the Galaxy
Project, and so far known, this is the only Galaxy Admin workshop planned
for 2018.

*Participants are to cover their own travel and accomodation, while the
workshop participation is free of charge.*
