How technology can support the marine community to deliver FAIR data

The Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) invites the marine community, particularly those from a policy, commercial, academic and conservation background, to an open meeting to exchange information about harnessing technology to make marine data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR).
3rd March 2022 - Online
The meeting is FREE of charge. Further details including the programme will follow. Places are limited, so please register here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/medin-open-meeting-march-2022-tickets-260969134707>. Deadline for registration is 18th February 2022.

Background

MEDIN is a partnership of UK organisations committed to improving access to marine data. Marine data are collected by a wide range of organisations for an extensive variety of applications, including environmental monitoring, defence, research, conservation and commercial activities. As long as any limitations with such data are fully understood, these data can be useful to others. There are over 600 organisations collecting or holding marine data in the UK, so in the past, it was difficult for the marine community to make full use of these silos of marine data. MEDIN has been working with both public and private organisations to make it easier to share UK marine data and to ensure that data are well documented and are in a fit state to be used by others. MEDIN provides a single place to search for marine data. By providing a standardised way to find marine data and specialist data archives to store it, MEDIN has opened up access to large volumes of previously unavailable data from both the private and public sectors. MEDIN wants to ensure the marine community can harness appropriate technology to achieve our vision of all UK marine data being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Join us to discuss your needs, aspirations and ideas to achieve FAIR marine data.

Please forward these details to any colleagues who may be interested in attending.

Best wishes,
Charlotte
