We are glad to announce the ExPaNDS closing event, to be held in Hamburg on 23rd to 24th January 2023. For those who may not join in person, there will be the chance to attend remotely.

Our final event for ExPaNDS aims to present the opportunity to follow a user story showcasing the major results achieved during the length of the project.

Our project contributors will gather to discuss and show case use cases, platforms, FAIR principles and options for the future with a view to sustainability of the tools, software and services developed to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) across European Photon and Neutron (PaN) facilities, working towards the implementation of a PaN Data Commons to further contribute to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Furthermore, we will also have invited talks by renown scientists high-lighting the continued importance of #Opendataforopenscience. A hybrid option for both the internal and public sessions will be available.

We hope to be able to collect feedback and expectations of PaN scientists on their view on the future of FAIR and open data principles.

We also look forward to hearing the latest news on the DAPHNE4NFDI project from our colleagues involved in this grant.
