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.
