November session: Towards Best Practices in Research supported by Academic Core Facilities
Date: Tuesday 30th November 2021
Time: 4:00 – 5:00 pm (CET)
Summary
This webinar session will focus on how best research practices can be achieved and ensured in the context of academic core facilities. The current developments in the field of data quality will be presented, like the EQIPD Quality System.
It will be discussed how such a system can improve the interaction between core facilities and their users and how it can support the implementation and maintenance of critical quality measures along the research chain, from sample generation and processing at the core facility to the documentation and publishing of the results.
This session will include ample time for Q&A and discussion to further elaborate beyond the presentations.
