3rd Helmholtz Research Data Commons

Sample Handling and Tracking –

Good and FAIR Data Practices in Action

The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) and the Helmholtz Open Science Office invite you to the third iteration of the Helmholtz Research Data Commons, this time focussing on: Sample Handling and Tracking – Good and FAIR Data Practices in Action.

In this online event, colleagues from different Helmholtz Centers and research fields will present how they handle and track different types of samples – such as material samples, soil samples, and plant samples – in their respectice areas of application. The talks allow to gain both practical insights into the specific use cases as well as into the general challenges in collecting accompanying good-quality metadata for samples.

The event will include an open discussion round on the topic with the speakers, which everyone is invited to participate in.
