Data Revival demonstrates how AI-driven approaches can reverse the trend of data loss. By digitising and analysing the Southampton chemistry archive, the project transformed a dormant collection into a FAIR-aligned. 💻 To access the service, click here: t.ly/5VAoa
Call for Abstracts! ☎️ We invite participants to submit abstracts for their poster here 👉 t.ly/3rVaX 🌟 If your abstract is accepted you should produce a 1-slide and 1-minute presentation to promote your poster. The poster should be of A0 size and the slide 16:9 aspect ratio
This talk by Dr. @samicat1990.bsky.social, explores how FAIRness needs to be built in from the point of creation. It argues that good data stewardship and appropriate research software support are central to this process, rather than relying on tools alone. 💻 Slides available here: t.ly/rZTNW
