FAIRification of multi-omics metadata

Date & Time 12 September 2022 at 17:00-20:00 CEST
Location Virtual

In the context of the flagship EATRIS-Plus project, EATRIS members are organising a workshop on “FAIRification of multi-omics metadata”. The workshop will take place at the 21st European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB) 2022.

During this workshop, we will review these challenges as well as solutions based on multi-omics use cases and bring data owners together with data managers and tool developers. Invited speakers will present an overview of the landscape of resources that help researchers create FAIR multi-omics metadata. We will then follow up by identifying gaps in the field from a researcher’s perspective and discuss strategies to close these gaps.

Organisers

  • Gary Saunders, EATRIS Data Director
  • Emanuela Oldoni, EATRIS Scientific Programme Manager
  • Anna Niehues, Bioinformatician at Radboud University Medical Center

Topic

  • Metadata FAIRification from the perspective of multi-omics data owners and researchers
  • The other omics / multi-omics
  • Relevance of the data and software management
  • Training
