DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final webinar of the series focusing on open ac
 cess and open science. At this webinar\, on the last day of Open Access We
 ek 2021\, we will be joined by four speakers from across EMBL who have kno
 wledge and experience of being ‘open’\, from software to data resource
 s and open access publications.\n\nDuring this panel webinar\, we will dis
 cuss:\n\n- What does ‘open’ mean?\n- Why should I share my data?\n- Ar
 e there disadvantages of sharing data?\n- What problems may I have with sh
 aring data?\n- Questions from the audience  \n\nWe invite you to join us
  to listen to the panel’s discussion and submit your own questions on op
 en access and open science. You may submit your questions prior to the web
 inar using the registration form or during the Zoom webinar. \n\n### Spea
 kers\n\n**Renato Alves\, Bio-IT EMBL**\n\nFollowing a PhD in human bacteri
 al metagenomics and metatranscriptomics Renato took the role of Bio-IT pro
 ject coordinator at EMBL Heidelberg\, providing computational support to t
 he research community at EMBL. For over 15 years Renato has contributed to
  several open and closed-source software projects using a multitude of pro
 gramming languages and technologies from web to big data and cloud.\n\n**T
 ony Burdett\, EMBI-EBI**\n\nTony Burdett leads the Archival Infrastructure
  and Technology team\, which develops services and provides technology to 
 support the activities of EMBL-EBI’s molecular archives\, including data
  submission\, storage\, validation\, coordination and presentation. \n\nT
 ony joined EMBL-EBI in 2005 and has personally built and led development t
 eams for many resources such as the GWAS Catalog\, ArrayExpress\, the Expr
 ession Atlas and BioSamples. His team now develops the ingestion service f
 or the Human Cell Atlas Data Coordination Platform\, the infrastructure be
 hind the European Nucleotide Archive\, and the BioSamples database.\n\nTon
 y has a biological and medical background\, having spent some time at medi
 cal school before graduating with a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and a MRes 
 in Bioinformatics from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He has a spe
 cial interest in developing federated\, cloud-based data platforms and has
  many years of experience in developing semantically-rich RESTful APIs for
  the submission and distribution of life sciences data. He takes pride in 
 his ability to marry profoundly complex biological problems with the very 
 latest development techniques to create highly accomplished\, open source\
 , reusable software and services.\n\n**Maria Levchenko\, EMBL-EBI**\n\nMar
 ia Levchenko is a Community Manager for Europe PMC\, an open literature da
 tabase for life sciences developed by the European Bioinformatics Institut
 e (EMBL-EBI). Europe PMC indexes over 300\,000 preprints abstracts and ful
 l text COVID-19 preprints from 20 life sciences preprint servers alongside
  published journal articles. Before joining Europe PMC\, Maria obtained a 
 PhD in Biochemistry from Georg-August University in Goettingen\, Germany\,
  and has worked with the European Research Council (ERC) Executive Agency.
  Maria is passionate about innovative solutions in scholarly communication
 s that help the research community to advance scientific knowledge.\n\n**S
 andra Orchard\, EMBL-EBI**\n\nSandra Orchard is Team Leader for Protein Fu
 nction Content\, with a strong background in protein annotation. Her team 
 is primarily responsible for the curation of UniProt at EMBL-EBI\, and ann
 otation of the Gene Ontology. Sandra and her team support professional tra
 ining in data resources for exploring protein function\, sequence analysis
 \, interactions and pathways. She is a member and Treasurer of the Executi
 ve Committee of the International Society for Biocuration.\n\nSandra's tea
 m applies advanced methods for ensuring the accuracy and quality of the un
 iversal protein resource\, UniProt\, carrying out manual annotation and pr
 oducing the rules for automated annotation. They also create and maintain 
 value-added interfaces for exploring protein data\, for example the Enzyme
  Portal and Complex Portal.
