The Library will hold “Data Days 2024”. On this occasion, the research community will be offered online lecture on scientific research data managemen:
“FAIR Principles to Enhance Research Transparency and Impact: From Fundamentals to Practice“ (intended for researchers in physical sciences).
Date: 26 November 2024, at 3 p.m.
The speaker: Dr. Mirco Panighel (University of Luxembourg, Department of Physics and Materials Science)
The lecture will take place on MS Teams and will be in English.
Abstract: The advantages of Open Science practices are increasingly recognized within the scientific community, particularly in terms of enhancing the accessibility and impact of research results. This presentation will first introduce the foundational concepts of FAIR principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable – and their role in Open science, demonstrating how they promote the transparency and reproducibility of scientific results. In the second part we will present a case study on the practical implementation of FAIR principles in the field of material science, illustrating both the benefits and the challenges of their adoption.
About the speaker: Dr. Mirco Panighel is a Postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Physics and Materials Science of the University of Luxembourg. He obtained his Master in Condensed Matter Physics in 2011 and a PhD in Nanotechnology in 2015 from the University of Trieste, Italy. He completed a two-year postdoctoral position at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Spain and, from 2017 to 2024, at the Italian National Research Council in Italy. His experimental research focuses on the growth and atomic-scale characterization of material surfaces. Currently he is investigating new materials for photovoltaic applications through advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. In recent years, he has been involved in coordinating the implementation of scientific data management and FAIR practices, both at the laboratory and infrastructural level.
