Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
FAIR-DI – FAIRmat Colloquium starting October ... (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
Dear colleague,
Thursday this week, October 7, FAIR Data expert Barend Mons will open the monthly FAIR-DI/FAIRmat colloquium with his talk “How to materialise data”. We would be very happy to welcome you as a participant!
Barend Mons is the Scientific Director of the GO FAIR Foundation, President of CODATA, and key person behind the renowned paper “The FAIR Guiding Principles for Scientific Data Management and Stewardship”.
Barend Mons will share with us the experiences of the early implementation phase of the FAIR guiding principles: He will give a brief historical review, address how FAIR became a hype term (already more than 5000 citations in the 2016 article) and how this also distracted FAIR from its core at some points. He then will zoom in on lessons learned, and how to make FAIR ‘materialise’. Finally, he will make a plea for proper and well budgeted data stewardship plans, compliant with the FAIR guiding principles for each and every research project we may contemplate (yes already when we contemplate, not in hindsight!).
We are very much looking forward to his talk since it will set the stage for fruitful discussions in many sessions. So come ready to ask questions!
For online participation, the zoom link will be announced here shortly before the event: https://www.fair-di.eu/fairdi-colloqium-access
This event is the kickoff of a monthly series covering topics in the wide field of building, running, advancing, and using a FAIR data infrastructure for condensed-matter and chemical physics of materials, organized by the association FAIR-DI and the consortium FAIRmat!
On behalf of the entire FAIRmat team,
Claudia Draxl
