Making Spatial Biology FAIR – Practical Steps

29 Jan 2026
Workshop Room - Gallery Room SG15

Are you generating valuable spatial data but struggling to make it organised, shareable and reusable? This hands-on workshop organized by IO-FAST (initiative for FAIR spatial data) will show you how to apply the FAIR data principles to your research so you can derive valuable answers from the data you’ve invested in.

Designed for researchers in both wet and dry labs, this session walks through the entire data lifecycle, from acquisition and metadata capture to storage, publication and reuse. By attending, here’s what you’ll gain:

• Understand the full data lifecycle — from acquisition to sharing.

• Learn what metadata to capture early to make life easier later.

• Explore tools and repositories that make your data ready for reuse.

• See how to apply FAIR principles in your own work.

• Connect with peers and experts developing community-driven frameworks for multi-modal data integration
