Abstract:
This hands-on 90-minute session will guide participants through the practical implementation of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles in eLabFTW using templates and extra fields. As part of the eLabFTW@FDM-NDS initiative, we present a first version of a practical guide designed to help researchers and lab teams standardize their workflows from the outset.
Participants will engage in a hands-on workshop where they will explore and apply experiment and resource templates, learn how to leverage custom extra fields to capture essential metadata, and understand how these features support reproducibility and data sharing. Through guided exercises, attendees will create their own templates, populate them with real-world data, and discuss best practices for ensuring data integrity and compliance with FAIR principles.
Prior experience with eLabFTW is beneficial, but not required. We’ll walk through everything step by step, so you can focus on learning how templates can support FAIR data practices — regardless of your current tools or familiarity with digital lab systems.
We welcome your expert input on the guide’s structure, content, and practical applicability — particularly around metadata standards, interoperability, and alignment with institutional data policies. Your insights will be instrumental in refining the guide to meet the needs of both researchers and data stewards.
This session is ideal for lab managers, researchers, data stewards, and especially RDM professionals involved in supporting data governance, compliance, and digital infrastructure.
