Event Description
- Full Description:
- The Australian Research Data Commons Combined Characterisation-Neuroscience Symposium is a national event to discuss and shape the data-driven science across instruments, experiments and neuroscience in Australia.
Three parallel afternoon workshops
1. Australian Characterisation Informatics Planning workshop
Characterisation has become an area where informatics infrastructure, expertise and best practice is critical. The Australian Characterisation community shares a number of significant informatics challenges, and the community is working together to plan and implement strategies to overcome these challenges. This workshop will bring together Australian and International experts to map the strategic link between characterisation facilities, the standards and best practices they apply, the research communities using instrument data to create domain-specific collections and use this information to plan for the future.
2. Australian Neuroscience Microscopy Data Sharing, Standards and Best-Practice Workshop
Recent advances in optics, computational tools and automation have increased the impact of modern optical microscopy not only in basic science but also in industry and clinical domains. The Australian optical microscopy community is actively working together to form a dynamic network of researchers who will enable data sharing and standardisation. The aim of this initiative is to increase the quality and reproducibility, and boost the overall value of optical microscopy data. This symposium will discuss the current challenges of data sharing and protocols with the aim of mapping out a national strategy to integrate current systems into a unified Australian data sharing platform.
3. Australian Brain Data Commons Workshop
By its very nature, the brain is at the core of who we are and cracking its “code” (how it works) is one of the greatest scientific challenges facing humanity. To crack the brain's code neuroscience has become one of the most highly interdisciplinary scientific research disciplines. Understanding the brain's code - the neural circuits and processes underlying cognition - is currently at the forefront of brain research nationally and internationally. Central to cracking the code will be a national strategy for brain research data sharing and curation. This workshop will bring together brain researchers and neuroinformaticians to map the national brain data commons capabilities, review the community requirements, and develop a national plan for neuroscience data sharing and curation.
