Breakout session: 

Practical FAIR research data management (Amerika)

Organizers:

Douwe Molenaar and Brett Olivier, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

What does FAIR Research Data Management practically entail for a wet-lab scientist? Answers to this question are urgently needed.

At the laboratories of the Amsterdam Institute for Medicines, Molecules and Systems (AIMMS) at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam we have set up tools and defined best practices for management of data from the wet lab. We have reviewed several tools, chosen one, and set up a pilot with real users and real data. Although the results were satisfying and the tools do what they promised to do, we identified several aspects that need improvement.

We want to share our experiences with others and discuss what is needed to facilitate data management in the wet lab in the near future.

Speakers and topics:

FAIR Data Stewardship

Objectives:

To share and discuss experiences in our and other labs in evaluating and setting up data management tools and best practices for wet lab scientists. We also want to identify the deficits in current tools and practices, and to identify what is needed to overcome these in the near future.

For whom?

Data scientists, data stewards, engineers and users of data management tools and others involved in or interested in practical solutions for RDM in the wet-lab.
