WS4

Workshop No.4: Supporting technologies for FAIRification

The fourth EERAdata Workshop will take place from Tue 15 - Thu 17 March, 2022. Hosted by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna, it will be organized as a hybrid meeting.

Objectives

• Explore and discuss tools that support a FAIR and open database infrastructure
• Agree on supporting technologies to be implemented, work on the community platform concept
