+## Content
+
+This short course is meant to teach participants the automation of pipelines.
+For this, the snakemake workflow engine is introduced.
+
+It will be presented how to write recipes with this engine which are independent of
+the programming language used.
+Further, the capabilities of snakemake to parallelize these workflows are
+demonstrated.
+To conclude, a custom workflow will then be submitted to the cluster to
+run on multiple machines.
+
+The course will be fully interactive.
+
+## Prerequesits
+
+Users will work on hemera and are expected be sufficiently introduced to
+the slurm scheduling system.
