SUMMARY:ELIXIR-UK RDM Club: Open and sustainable AI – models and datasets as key assets
DESCRIPTION:About the ELIXIR-UK RDM Club\nThe UK RDM club (run by our wonderful project partners ELIXIR-UK) is a monthly meeting held over zoom on the first Tuesday of every month\, with a focus on ELIXIR-UK activities that help people manage their life science research data. They welcome participation from data stewards\, support staff and researchers interested in Research Data Management (RDM) in the life sciences. \nDescription\nIn this RDM Club Call\, Gavin Farrell (ELIXIR Ireland)\, a contributor to ELIXIR’s AI Ecosystem Focus Group work\, will introduce the concept of Open and Sustainable AI (OSAI). Grounded in the ELIXIR Europe Machine Learning Focus Group work that culminated in the 2025 preprint Open and Sustainable AI: challenges\, opportunities and the road ahead in the life sciences\, the talk presents nine OSAI guidelines for ensuring AI datasets and models can be reused and reproduced while also supportingenvironmental sustainability. \nThe session will also highlight a living landscape of 300+ supports available for community application\, designed to help implement OSAI guidelines in practice. \nSpeaker\nGavin Farrell – ELIXIR Ireland & ELIXIR Italy\,  contributor to ELIXIR’s AI Ecosystem focus group \nWho should attend\nThis session is designed for professionals across the research\, including but not limited to: \n\nResearch Data Managers and Research Software Quality Managers: those looking to standardise AI workflows and integrate asset management into institutional/network-wide infrastructure.\nAI Experimenters and Researchers: individuals who need practical frameworks to make their AI code and datasets more reusable\, reproducible\, sustainable\, and open.\nData Stewards: professionals interested in applying community vetted guidelines and contributing new domain-specific implementations to the wider ecosystem.

SUMMARY:DCC's Digital Research Infrastructure webinar series: Getting to know BioFAIR
DESCRIPTION:About the Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Webinar Series\nStarting in February 2026\, DCC are launching a series of webinars to showcase the digital research infrastructure projects and communities in the UK and beyond in collaboration with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Join DCC to learn about state-of-the-art initiatives that aim to advance research tools and techniques\, foster collaboration and data sharing\, and accelerate discoveries across a range of academic disciplines and sectors. And if you work on a research infrastructure project and are interested in being a guest speaker\, please email DCC at info@dcc.ac.uk! \nDescription\nJoin us to learn about BioFAIR\, the BioCommons digital research infrastructure for the UK life sciences community\, from our guest speakers Tony Burdett and Nishadi De Silva. \nBioFAIR is a UKRI funded federated digital research infrastructure and provides end-to-end FAIR research data management & analysis capabilities along with the necessary support and training for UK researchers working in the life sciences. \nSpeakers\n\nTony Burdett\, Director\, BioFAIR\nTony Burdett is the Director of BioFAIR and an experienced leader in bioinformatics\, specialising in FAIR data management and delivery of research-enabling services for the life sciences. He has made significant contributions to international scientific collaborations around the development of innovative data solutions and has been responsible for the delivery of large-scale data platforms\, both at EMBL-EBI and as part of international consortia such as the Human Cell Atlas. As a lead of the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform\, Tony has also been instrumental in developing sustainable\, interoperable data infrastructures across ELIXIR member states and defining innovative approaches to the practical adoption of FAIR principles.\nDr Nishadi De Silva\, Senior Technical Project Manager\, BioFAIR\nAs the Senior Technical Project Manager for BioFAIR\, Dr Nishadi De Silva coordinates cross-disciplinary projects to advance FAIR practices and build a unified digital research infrastructure for the life sciences in the U.K. She works closely with researchers\, software engineers\, delivery partners and stakeholders to align workflow and data management strategies to meet the demands. Prior to that\, Nishadi lead the delivery of bioinformatics resources and coordinated data management at EMBL-EBI and worked in the Pathogen Informatics team at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Nishadi holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southampton\, U.K.\n\n  \n
