The ESFRI-EOSC Task Force is organising a Policy Workshop on “FAIR Data Productivity and Advanced Digitalization”, on 23-24 January 2024, in Milan, Italy. The Workshop is aimed at identifying bottlenecks in the productivity of quality-assessed FAIR data and the impact of Artificial Intelligence on research. 

The first goal of the workshop is to analyse the current situation and the perspectives in the productivity of FAIR data sets, with appropriate quality assessment and technical features to make them user- and machine-actionable for refinement of research results and for new research. 
The second goal is to address the opportunities and implications of Artificial Intelligence in research, in connection with FAIR data (training of algorithms and FAIRification). These issues will be addressed through talks and roundtable discussions led by experts from ESFRI RIs and European projects in the AI landscape.

Please note that participation is available by-invitation only, and its acceptance implies in-person attendance.

Attendees will include the ESFRI-EOSC Task Force, EOSC Steering Board, representatives from the EC (DG-RTD, DG-CNECT), the EOSC-Association Board, ESFRI RIs, and ESFRI SWGs. The workshop is organised by the ESFRI-EOSC Task Force, with the support of the StR-ESFRI3 project.

Sala Napoleonica, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Sant’Antonio 12, Milan.

Sala Napoleonica is located in Palazzo Greppi, an 18th-century building among the earliest examples of Milanese Neoclassicism, designed by the famous Italian architect Piermarini.

How to reach the venue: 

Sala Napoleonica is at walking distance from the Duomo di Milano. It is therefore in the very centre of the city, which you can easily get around using public transport (ATM, Azienda Trasporti Milanesi).

If your arrival to Milan is by train, all train stations have direct connections to the city center via the subway. Sala Napoleonica is conveniently located near the Missori metro stop on the M1 red line. Alternatively, the Duomo stop, which serves both the M1 red line and M3 yellow line, is also in close proximity.

Milan is accessible via three primary airports: Milano Malpensa, Milano Linate, and Milano-Bergamo (Orio al Serio). Connections from these airports to Milan are available through trains operated by Ferrovie dello Stato or Trenord, and even via the metro (line M4) for Linate. Private shuttles offer another convenient transportation option. For a hassle-free journey to Malpensa International Airport, taking the train from Piazza Cadorna, situated in the heart of Milan and 15 minuted by metro from the University, is highly recommended.
