Intentions
The SURE Synergy Workshop 4 focused on digital technologies and data management in SURE collaborative projects and within the SURE framework. The workshop’s intention was multifold: it aimed to explore and exchange digital tools (open-source or commercial) and technologies developed and used in the SURE collaborative projects that help and contribute to your research work. On the other hand, the workshop aimed to reflect on the data management approaches in the collaborative projects and facilitate a discussion on data sharing and management within the projects.
In the first part of the event, participants listened to an impulse talk given by the guest speaker Dobroslav Totev who gave an insight into the Toolbox of Digital City Science. The second part of the workshop consisted of two parallel ‘pitch’ presentations and group discussions. The 10 collaborative project representatives were asked to share their projects experiences on two topics: »Technology Stack Exchange« and »Data Pipeline«. The parallel sessions were followed by a summary of the main discussion points to open the floor for the final remarks of the participants.
