DESCRIPTION:ELIXIR is running two sessions at this year's Bio-IT World Euro
 pe Conference.\n\nELIXIR session in Track 3 (29th of November\, 14:40-16:1
 5): Storage Infrastructure &amp\; Cloud Computing\n\n(90’ presentations 
 and Q&amp\;A panel\, 4 speakers)\n\nELIXIR session title: Managing and su
 staining Bioinformatics Infrastructures across Europe \n\nPlease join us 
 by using the available ELIXIR discount passes. To get your discount code\,
  please email ELIXIR's Industry Officer Despoina Sousoni (despoina.sousoni

 ential for facilitating the storage\, organization\, analysis\, and interp
 retation of large-scale biological data. These infrastructures enable rese
 archers from academia and industry to access and reuse data and tools that
  are essential for their scientific questions\, as well as to collaborate 
 and innovate across disciplines and regions. However\, these infrastructur
 es face many challenges\, such as the increasing volume and variety of bio
 logical data\, the limited funding\, and the adaptation to changing regula
 tions and technologies. 250 research institutes in over 23 countries have 
 joined forces to integrate their bioinformatics resources under a common E
 uropean life sciences infrastructure\, called ELIXIR. By showcasing the op
 en infrastructure resources of ELIXIR\, this session will illustrate how E
 uropean platforms for sensitive or restricted data are supported\, how dat
 a management tools are provided\, and how international standards are esta
 blished. The presenters will also discuss the challenges and opportunities
  for collaborative efforts to foster innovation in life sciences.\n\nSpeak

 5): Data management\n\n(90’ presentations and Q&amp\;A panel\, 4 speaker
 s)\n\nSession title:  Collaborative efforts to make life sciences data mo
 re FAIR: tools\, protocols and best practices\n\nAbstract\n\nData in the l
 ife sciences sector can have a greater impact if they are FAIR: Findable\,
  Accessible\, Interoperable and Reusable. To achieve this goal\, a collabo
 rative approach is essential to establish standards and best practices tha
 t are applicable across different domains and stages of the data life cycl
 e. In this session\, outcomes of several collaborative approaches will be 
 presented\, such as the established methodology for industry and academia 
 through the FAIRcookbook\; the Pistoia Alliance FAIR implementation projec
 t\; the ELIXIR interoperability platform\, which offers a range of FAIR da
 ta management services and high-performance data access and computing serv
 ices\, which enable scalable and secure data analysis. We will also discus
 s the challenges and opportunities for further collaboration and alignment
  in making life sciences data more FAIR.\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n	Susanna Sansone
