Hybrid Workshop on data standards in Plant Phenotyping – 26, 27 & 28 February 2025

NBPPN “Hybrid Workshop on data standards in Plant Phenotyping” will take place in Helsinki, 26, 27 & 28 February 2025.

Register below! Deadline 31 January 2025.

We would like to show you the usefulness of metadata analysis, pointing out the need to organize your data and implementing tools allowing you to store and share your data to maximize their re-usability. Altogether, such tools could allow researchers to open the access to their data to the research and breeder community, and for the benefit of society at large. In-person activities will allow you to use dedicated tools for getting your data organized and accessible for yourself and your community.

Two types of registration are available for the workshop:

• Online Participation (Lecture Only): Fully free, allowing you to join virtually from anywhere in the world.
• In-Person Attendance (Lecture + Hands-On): While there is no registration fee, participants must cover their own transportation, accommodation, and meals. In-person attendees are required to arrive a day prior to the workshop, as lectures will begin at 9:00 AM (EET, UTC+02:00).  Please note that in-person attendance is limited to the first 20 registrants; after this limit is reached, only online participation will remain available.
