Galaxy is an open-source platform for FAIR data analysis that enables users to:

  • use tools from various domains (that can be plugged into workflows) through its graphical web interface.
  • run code in interactive environments (RStudio, Jupyter...) along with other tools or workflows.
  • manage data by sharing and publishing results, workflows, and visualizations.
  • ensure reproducibility by capturing the necessary information to repeat and understand data analyses.

The Galaxy Community is actively involved in helping the ecosystem improve and sharing scientific discoveries.

The French Galaxy server

The French Galaxy server UseGalaxy.fr is maintained by IFB NNCR Cluster Task force. Please check our Terms of Use and data retention policy before using the server. We offer thousands of tools, increased quota on temporary basis, and compute infrastructure for trainers through Training Infrastructure as a Service (TIaaS).

The following regional platforms, members of IFB, are involved in the maintenance and development of UseGalaxy.fr:

Galaxy Powers FAIR Data: The BERD@NFDI B-Plan Use Case Shines at EOSC Symposium 2025

At the EOSC Symposium 2025, a standout example was the BERD@NFDI B-Plan use case, a project demonstrating how the Galaxy Europe platform provides the analytical engine to transform complex, unstructured planning data into FAIR research assets for the entire European research community.

Galaxy Tool Wrapping: Introducing the New Tool Developers SIG

Join the newly formed Tool Developers Special Interest Group (SIG) to collaborate on high-quality tool maintenance and standardize best practices across the Galaxy ecosystem. This initiative offers a dedicated space for mentorship, peer review, and community-driven development for developers of all experience levels.

Nov 25 - Nov 27Galaxy Ecology training and collabroation fest

As colleagues from CCAMLR / Antarctica conservation from Belgium are coming to Concarneau marine station to work on Galaxy Ecology use in their projects, we propose to create an open event, where colleagues from CCAMLR / Antarctica conservation from UK, New Zealand and others are interested to participate remotely, so people wanted to learn how to use and contribute to Galaxy Ecology European Platform during these 3 days.

Nov 26How can I analyse my texts, media, and data in the humanities and social sciences?

You want to analyse your media, text or data digitally, but do not know how? You only have a laptop but no programming skills or money for expensive programs? Do you want to consider good research data management, but do not know how? Galaxy is here for you!
This coffee lecture hosted by FDM Thüringen gives you a quick overview of how you can use the open source platform Galaxy (usegalaxy.eu) for your research
