+Registration is open for the 4th BioHackathon Germany, organised by de.NBI, for hands-on projects, networking, and innovation in bioinformatics. 
+This year's event is hosted in the town of Walsrode, located between Hanover and Hamburg, and supports online/remote participation.  
+
+There is a choice of eleven projects, including [10. On the path to machine-actionable training materials](https://www.denbi.de/de-nbi-events/1939-4th-biohackathon-germany-on-the-path-to-machine-actionable-training-materials), co-led by Nick Juty (University of Manchester eScience Lab / ELIXIR-UK) and Petra Steiner (University of Darmstadt). They are joined by Phil Reed (University of Manchester eScience Lab / ELIXIR-UK), Oliver Knodel and Martin Voigt (HZDR), as part of the [mTeSS-X project](https://esciencelab.org.uk/projects/mtess-x/). 
+
+> In this project, we will work in parallel, interrelated streams:
+> 
+> - We will develop a strategy to identify similar or related training materials from distributed resources.
+> - We will interlink related materials as Learning Paths where appropriate, and explore means to facilitate future automation.
+> - We will improve the schemas.science profiles concerning ‘Course’ and ‘TrainingMaterial’ to propose how those could be updated to incorporate properties that facilitate exposure in Learning Paths.
+
+To participate in this hackathon, please [register via the de.NBI website](https://www.denbi.de/de-nbi-events/1840-4th-biohackathon-germany). There is limited capacity for participation. Please be aware that you will have to cover your own expenses (travel, food, and so on).
