Sustainability of Mouse Informatics Resources (SMIR) - INFRAFRONTIER Workshop at IMGC 2019
INFRAFRONTIER Satellite Workshop at IMGC 2019, Strasbourg
25 September 2019 09:00 - 12:00: Workshop Talks
Mouse informatics resources are valuable and essential tools in life sciences. For the global biomedical research community, the safe and continuous availablity of these resources is a necessary prerequisite for the further development of Precision Medicine.
The long-term sustainability of the existing tools is facing some challenges. How to advance them and make them `future-proof´, is a constant task for researchers and funders worldwide.
The INFRAFRONTIER workshop aims to openly discuss the status quo of international Mouse Informatics Resources and the strategic plans of major mouse data providers like IMSR, MGI, IMPC, RIKEN, EMMA, MMRRC etc. Experts from leading institutions in Europe, North America and Asia present their tools, approaches, and ideas for improvements like cloud storage, the use of artificial inteligence and ongoing international cooperation.
Objectives:
The workshop aims to discuss:
- ... the strategic plans of the major international mouse data providers
- ... the current challenges for the sustainability of mouse informatics resources
- ... the funding opportunities for sustainability and a further added value to these resources
- ... how to foster collaborative opportunities among the international mouse repositories
- ... innovations concerning the access to mouse informatics resources, cloud data storage, the use of AI etc.
