## Abstract
The continuous evolution of photon sources and their instrumentation enables more and new scientific endeavors at ever increasing pace. This technological evolution is accompanied by an exponential growth of data volumes of increasing complexity, which must be addressed by maximizing efficiency of scientific experiments and automation of workflows covering the entire data lifecycle, aiming to reduce data volumes while producing FAIR and open data of highest reliability. This papers briefly outlines the strategy of the league of European accelerator-based photon sources user facilities to achieve these goals collaboratively in an efficient and sustainable way which will ultimately lead to an increase in the number of publications.

## Exploiting open data for machine learning training: can the Photon and Neutron community do it?
During the last decade, most European Photon and Neutron (PaN) facilities have adopted [open data policies](https://www.panosc.eu/data/panosc-data-policy-framework/), making data available for the benefit of the entire scientific community. At the same time, machine learning (ML) is seen as an essential tool to address the exponential growth of data volumes from PaN facilities.
Exploitation of experimental training datasets is a key component of machine learning. The combination of ML algorithms and open data can therefore be seen as an ideal marriage that would ultimately help the entire community to tackle ‘big data’ challenges with more automation.
However, finding the right data to train machine learning algorithms is a challenge and one of the motivations for making data FAIR is exactly that: to provide scientists working on AI applications with quality training datasets.
But what does 'quality' mean to PaN science communities? What metadata fields are needed to find the data, to understand if it is suitable for our research, and ultimately to be able to ingest it in our training models? How can we provide sufficiently rich metadata? What would be the enablers for more machine learning applications? How can we improve the collaboration between data producers (domain scientists) and data consumers (ML experts)?
## Objectives
With this workshop, we aim to discuss these questions, among staff and users of the LEAPS and LENS facilities, across disciplines and across Europe.
We will present projects and teams that have successfully used open datasets from PaN facilities to train their specific ML application (data consumers), as well as domain scientists (data producers) who have published curated data specifically for ML applications.
We will also look at cases where it hasn't worked so well, to identify what needs to be better curated on the FAIR data management side or understand the challenges in finding ML experts to effectively utilise the available data. A significant part of the workshop will be dedicated to discussion.
## Call for abstracts
During the workshop, we have slots available for 20 minute presentations. We are particularly interested in contributions that can address the following points:
* Have you used open data for machine learning? What has been your experience?
* Do you feel your research could benefit from more and better curated open data? Tell us why and how.
* Have you already made open datasets available to your community for machine learning training purposes? What has been your experience?
* Have you managed to enrich the metadata of open datasets for better training? Share with us how you accomplished it.
Whatever your discipline, as long as the data originally came from experiment(s) at a photon or neutron source, please submit an abstract in our [indico page]({{ page.link }}).
## Venue
The workshop will be held at the SOLEIL synchrotron, Saint Aubin (France) as a satellite event of the LEAPS General Assembly. Please note there is a 50€ registration fee for on-site participants.
Remote participation will be possible too and is free of charge.

link: https://www.rd-alliance.org/plenaries/international-data-week-2023-salzburg/tools-and-methods-working-towards-fair-facility
excerpt: 'Our session on "tools and methods working towards the FAIR facility" has been accepted. We look forward to discussing the FAIR toolkit developed in the frame of ExPaNDS and PaNOSC, sharing it with the wider RDA community and comparing with similar efforts in facilities around the world. We would also like to discuss how we will further its adoption and continue to develop it within future programmes.'

title: Two joint NFFA-Europe workshops on open data, microscopy and analytical large-scale facilities
category: workshop

link: https://www.nffa.eu/news/events/two-joint-nffa-europe-workshops-on-microscopy-open-data-and-analytical-large-scale-facilities/
excerpt: 'NFFA-Europe is glad to announce two upcoming workshops which will explore some highly relevant issues in the world of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The two half-day events will take place at the MLZ (Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum) premises in Garching, Munich (Germany) on September 26th.'
---
The first workshop “**FAIR and Open Data in NFFA-Europe Pilot and
Beyond**”, scheduled in the morning (9:00-13:00), will be focused on
Open Data practices and FAIR principles and their relevance for
research infrastructure activities and, more in general, for the
advancement of science.
The first four speakers will present the approaches adopted by the
**NFFA-Europe Pilot project**, sharing insights and successful
stories. Special attention will be devoted to the solutions and tools
devised and implemented during the project’s research journey. In the
second part of the workshop, other European research projects will
take the stage: **FAIRMAT**, **NFDI-MatWerk**, **MARVEL** and **GO
FAIR**. Speakers will discuss practical use cases and provide further
valuable insights.
The second workshop “**Bridging Microscopy and Analytical Large-Scale
Facilities**”, scheduled in the afternoon (14:00-17:50), will switch
the focus to another aspect of paramount importance in nanoscience
research: how to seamlessly combine cutting-edge experiments at
analytical large-scale facilities with complementary lab-based
microscopy.
The workshop will explore the opportunity to collect data and
information at the nanoscale **using different imaging modalities**,
an issue which is highly attractive for interdisciplinary nanoscience
communities. The eight speakers will present relevant results and
discuss the way forward to **establish a user platform** which will
allow to collect correlative structural and chemical information of
nanoscale objects.
The workshops can be attended either in person or remotely.
