June 26th 13:00- 14:00	The Hugging Face In this webinar, Hugging Face’s Machine Learning Librarian, Daniel van Strien, will discuss how Hugging Face works to ensure machine learning models can be more easily found, used and built on by others, i.e. how they can follow the FAIR principles.	Daniel van Strien, Machine Learning Librarian, Hugging Face	Chris Erdmann & Donny Winston	Notes Recording
June 7th 12:00 am-13:30	Machine actionability A discussion about what is needed to achieve machine actionability (e.g. semantics, metadata, operations, types), why automation is required in research, how researchers create machine actionable research outputs, and the available tools to facilitate application.	Claus Weiland Ivonne Anders	Juliane Schneider & Andrea Medina Smith	Notes Recording Presentation
February 21st 2023 10:00 am-12:00 UTC	Software & Workflows A discussion about what the FAIRification of software and workflows look like, the available tools/infrastructures that support this process, why FAIRification is important and how it is applicable to researchers.	Carole Goble Paula Andrea Martinez	Jafsia Elisee Gladys Jerono Rotich Gianna Jordan	Notes: https://shiny.link/EtKUn6 Recording: https://youtu.be/bvA8jiAs5tQ
January 26th 2023 10:00 am-12:00 UTC	Identifiers A discussion about what different types of identifiers are available, why are they important for creating FAIRDigital objects,how are they relevant to researchers and how to apply them and integrate them in research practices.	Maggie Hellström Matt Buys Peter Wittenberg	Nabil Ksibi Natasha Simons Patricia Herterich	Notes: https://hackmd.io/@Fairpoints/ama-ids Recording: https://youtu.be/jbm-NJSw-jU
September 30th 2022 16:00-18:00 CEST	FAIR4Beginners This is a first of a series of events designed to bring the community together to co-create material needed in different formats, e.g. training slides, guidebooks, video/animations, infographics etc.	FAIRPoints team	FAIRPoints team	Notes: https://github.com/fairpoints/fair_open4beginners
May 30th 2022 16:00-17:00 CEST	Enhancing Sample Provenance and Experimental Reproducibility Lack of reliable information about sample usage, location, provenance, metadata and experimental use is a core barrier to experimental reproducibility and general FAIRification of data. This presentation will describe how these issues are being addressed in the design and development of a sample management module within the RSpace electronic lab notebook, focusing on three specific challenges: (1) Incorporating sample data into experimental documentation; (2) Associating PIDS like IGSNs and RRIDS into sample metadata; and (3) Export of sample metadata in required formats to different domain repositories and databases.

April 21st 2022 15:00-16:00 CEST	Things you need to know about Data Access Statements Data access statements (DAS), also known as data availability statements, are key elements that can be used in multiple diverse disciplines and have a huge impact in providing essential information as it outlines where and how any underlying data may be accessed and reused, listing specific restrictions (if any) and the authorization process. It is therefore integral to the FAIRification process. Join us in this talk to discover how an effective data access statement should look like!

March 23rd 2022 16:00-17:00 CEST	Harmonising FAIR data sharing with Legal Compliance FAIR mechanisms have pioneered a new paradigm of making data discoverable, accessible, and reusable. At the same time, a new wave of privacy and data protection laws (including GDPR) around the world is regulating how personal data is shared responsibly. This talk explores the intersection between the two communities and discusses how each can help the other. In particular, it focuses on how we can utilise FAIR metadata and mechanisms to ensure data is shared and used legally while also increasing its reusability. Conversely, it also takes a look at what FAIR principles can do for improving how we deal with legal compliance.	Harshvardhan J.

February 24th 2022 15:00-16:00 CEST	Step by Step Publishing with ResearchEquals In this talk, we will explore the open source publishing platform ResearchEquals, where you can publish your entire research journey, step by step. With this, researchers get the autonomy to make all their research outputs findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. In this presentation, Chris Hartgerink shows how you can get started with this new publishing system and how you can help shape its future development.

January 28th 2022 17:00- 18:00 CEST	FAIRPoints launch First community discussion exploring challenges, opportunities and pragmatic measures towards the implementation of the FAIR data principles, part of event series developed by GoFAIR US, SDSC, AGU, and SciLifeLab Data Centre.
