WS4

Workshop No.4: Supporting technologies for FAIRification

The fourth EERAdata Workshop is a 3-day event taking place from Tue 15 - Thu 17 March, 2022. It is conceived as a hands-on workshop and discussion event complemented with external inputs given by invited contributors. Organized as a hybrid meeting, the workshop will be hosted by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology (physical meeting in Vienna) and by the EERA Secretariat (online meeting). Given the expected pandemic-related restrictions and safety regulations, only a core group of the EERAdata project team will gather in person at the AIT. All other participants will be able to participate online upon registration.

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
