*   Principal investigators in academia, industry and university medical centres in the field of
     metabolomics and phenomics
*   Linked data experts and researchers involved in coupling different omics data

The total number of participants is limited to 40 for the workshop. We will select participants based on their expected contribution towards realizing the initiative.

PhenoMeNal (Phenome and Metabolome aNalysis) is a comprehensive and standardised e-infrastructure that will support the data processing and analysis pipelines for molecular phenotype data generated by metabolomics applications. PhenoMeNal will provide services enabling computation and analysis to improve the understanding of the causes and mechanisms underlying health, healthy ageing and diseases.

The GO FAIR initiative is an early-mover-driven ‘bottom up’ initiative of several member states, aiming to (a) follow the recommendations of the High Level Expert Group for the EOSC and (b) to help kick-start the implementation phase of the EOSC. “GO FAIR” starts working on a trusted environment where public and private sector partners can deposit, find, access, exchange and reuse each other’s data, workflows and other research objects.

The initiators of “GO FAIR” have recognized the value and the general applicability of the approaches developed within PhenoMeNal, and support the idea of building upon PhenoMeNal and the EBI MetaboLights repository to establish a metabolomics and phenomics node as one of the first nodes in the European Open Science Cloud.
