WS IV “Supporting technologies for FAIRification"
WS IV “Supporting technologies for FAIRification"
Tue 15 - Thu 17 March, 2022
The fourth EERAdata Workshop is a 3-day event organized by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Vienna, Austria. Given the expected pandemic-related restrictions and safety regulations, the workshop is hybrid - hosted by AIT (with a core group in a physical presence in Vienna) and by the EERA Secretariat (online with all other participants). The workshop is conceived as a hands-on workshop and discussion event complemented with external inputs given by invited contributors.

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
