Workshop: Making Spatial Biology FAIR – Practical Steps 

Thursday 29 January 2026 | 14:10 - 17:20 | Room SG12

Are you generating valuable spatial data but struggling to make it organised, shareable and reusable?

This hands-on workshop organised by IO-Fast (an 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.
