SUMMARY:Ocean Best Practices Workshop VIII
DESCRIPTION:14 – 18 October  \nThe objective of the eighth Ocean Best Practices System Workshop (OBPS WSVIII) is to facilitate the cross-cutting primary role of best practices in operational oceanography by promoting dialogues across science and technology. In the era of Digital Twins for the Ocean\, the need of best practices is fundamental for a more interoperable and reliable use of ocean data\, for the evolution of the worldwide observing network from the deep ocean to the coast and for dealing with complex forecasting systems. The ultimate goal for satisfying this need is to provide standards and tools for developing new solutions for marine conservation\, for predictions and monitoring\, for a sustainable ocean environment\, and a sustainable Blue Economy. \nRegistration process\nTo participate in the Plenaries and Workshop Sessions and interact with the session speakers you will need to register separately to each Plenary and Workshop session.\nPlenaries and Workshop sessions will also be streamed in YouTube.  For YouTube\, registration is not needed\, but you will not be able to make questions to the speakers.  \nFurther information is available here

SUMMARY:BlueCloud Webinar on FAIR Data Principles 3 | Applying FAIR Principles across the (ocean) data management value chain
DESCRIPTION:Training Academy event\n 27 November 2024 15:00–16:30\n Online\n\n\n\nThis webinar is the third in a series of three Blue-Cloud 2026 Training Academy webinars on FAIR* Data Principles. \nREGISTER NOW \nFollowing on from our Blue-Cloud 2026 FAIR Data Principles 1 (Sep 2023) and 2  (Apr 2024) webinars\, the upcoming third webinar is dedicated to exploring the practical application of FAIR Principles throughout the entire data value chain. This comprehensive focus will encompass every stage\, from the collection of data and transmission (e.g sensors) through its processing\, curation\, and application in various products and services. The session will feature real-world use case experiences\, showcasing how these principles are effectively implemented across different stages to enhance data utility and integrity. \nThe webinar aims to broaden the understanding of FAIR Principles beyond their traditional association with research and academic environments. It will highlight their relevance and growing significance in industry and other sectors\, demonstrating how adopting these principles can drive innovation\, efficiency and collaboration across different domains.   Participants will gain insights into how best practices can be leveraged to optimize data management processes and facilitate interoperability between systems. \nBy presenting a range of sector-specific examples and use cases\, the webinar will illustrate the tangible benefits of implementing FAIR Principles in real-word scenarios. This includes not only improving the accessibility of data but also ensuring its long-term usability\, interoperability and compatibility with various technologies and standards. It offers perspectives on how to effectively integrate FAIR Principles into data management strategies to maximize the value and potential  of data in various contexts. \nWho should attend\nOpen science projects in Europe and beyond\, Research teams in Research Infrastructures\, Ocean Data community\, Industry sector\, amongst others. \nAgenda (available soon)\nWednesday 27 November 2024; 15.00 CET \nChair: Sara Pittonet Gaiarin\, Trust-IT Services and Blue-Cloud Coordinator \n  \n*About FAIR \nThe FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship were first published in Scientific Data\, 3:160018 [Wilkinson et al (2016)]. The principles apply to both data and metadata and are: Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable. They put specific emphasis on enhancing the ability of machines to automatically find and use the data\, in addition to supporting its reuse by individuals. In pursuit of FAIR\, there is a need for increased efforts in optimisation\, standardisation\, best practices and harmonisation across methodologies for ocean data management\, applications and digital assets \nCheck out the Blue-Cloud Training Academy
