Description

A virtual workshop at the European Biophysics Conference 2021

Our aim is to engage in discussions about research-data handling in general and about the peculiarities of biophysics data. Experimental data are only meaningful when methods, machinery, sample, measurement conditions, and measured quantities are known. Likewise, computational data is only worth keeping if all aspects of the underlying simulation are recorded in detail as well. To create and provide data according to the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable), we need extensive annotation, i.e., a systematic metadata catalogue. Such data structures can only be developed in a community effort. Specific topics of this workshop can be:

  • Background on research data
  • Identifying needs and strategies specific to biophysics regarding:
    • User and software interfaces of data handling platforms
    • Strategies for developing (meta)data standards
    • Recruiting

Speakers

We will have short stimulating talks that motivate research data management (RDM), discuss meta data structures, and exemplify biophysics aspects in RDM. Confirmed speakers are:

  • Jan Dohnálek (BIOCEV Praha)
  • Luca Ghiringhelli (FHI Berlin)
  • Bert de Groot (MPI Biophys. Chem.)
  • Marc Hütt (Jacobs University Bremen)
  • Josan Marquez (EMBL Grenoble and Instruct ERIC)
  • Ana-Sunčana Smith (Uni Erlangen)
  • Mark Williams (ISMB Biophysics Centre London)
  • Peter Wittenburg (MPCDF Munich)

... please check back for updates!

Video conferencing

We will use the video conference service BlueJeans for the workshop. Some information can be found here. When first starting a BlueJeans Meeting, the BlueJeans App will ask to be installed. If for any reason you can't install the app, you can also join by just using a browser.

We decided to switch to Zoom!
