What will we talk about? FAIR data stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. These are principles for managing, storing, and publishing research data in such a way that both humans and computers can easily find, understand, and reuse them, making scientific research more efficient and reliable.

The Community of Practice is led by Ciara Bergin, Chief Data Officer at Fondation Asile des aveugles, Hôpital ophtalmique Jules-Gonin.

This Community of Practice will officially launch on February 26, from 13:00–14:00 CET. We will bring together professionals from eye hospitals worldwide to learn about FAIR images in ophthalmic care, exchange experiences, share best practices, and explore strategies to further improve eye care.

After registration you’ll receive an e-mail with the link to join the meeting on February 26.

Please note that this session is only open to staff working at WAEH member eye hospitals.
