What Participants say:
“Attending the FAIRagro and de.NBI workshop on research data management and FAIR principles was an excellent experience, was an eye opening for me […] I now feel much more confident implementing FAIR-compliant workflows in my future research and contributing to open, collaborative science in plant biology and bioinformatics.”
Abdul Saboor Khan, Biozentrum, University of Cologne
