EDWARD BARNARD, MORGAN WALL
This symposium brings together experts from national laboratories, user facilities, research institutions, and industry to share insights and strategies for building, managing, and scaling data infrastructure in scientific research. It aims to foster collaboration on best practices for data storage, access, interoperability, and governance across diverse institutions. By learning from each other’s successes and challenges, attendees will gain valuable perspectives on what works, what doesn’t, and how to drive continuous improvement. Discussions will explore cutting-edge technologies, FAIR data principles, and cross-organizational workflows to enhance innovation and reproducibility in scientific discovery.
