ELIXIR-UK FAIR Contentathon #3

Online

The ELIXIR-UK RDM Club has been awarded a BioFAIR Pathfinder grant for a project called The FAIR-in-action Bridge. In summary, many UK research-performing organisations have FAIR data policies.  Many have guidance documents. What’s often missing is the middle layer: the practical, ready-to-use materials that let RDM professionals in the life sciences turn that guidance into something researchers actually engage with. The FAIR-in-action Bridge is a BioFAIR Pathfinder project, led by coordinators of the ELIXIR-UK RDM Club, that sets out to fill this gap. The project will produce two FAIR-in-action playbooks for life science RDM professionals. We're running three online Contentathons, and we'd love you to join the ones that fit. This first Contentathon is a scoping session. Drop-in. Help us define what each playbook needs to contain and what FAIR resources you use already in the life sciences.

International Digital Curation Conference: IDCC27

Lisbon , Portugal

IDCC27 will take place in Lisbon in February 27th. The call for submissions is now open!
The 21st edition of the International Digital Curation Conference(IDCC27) will take place in Lisbon, Portugal from 9 - 12 February 2027. The main theme of the conference is ”FAIR DO's: Centring People in the Stewardship and Curation of Digital Objects.” The FAIR principles emphasise machine actionability, but the increasing integration of artificial intelligence systems into data infrastructure carries the risk of marginalising people in the planning, management, and practice of digital curation. The theme of this year’s conference acknowledges the crucial role of people in making digital objects FAIR.
