According to research data specialists, 79% of their time is spent finding and organising data. The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data guiding principles were created to save researchers time and help to maximise the impact of health data.
Practical implementation of these principles, however, is easier said than done. Join us for our virtual series: Driving FAIR in Biopharma and hear the lessons learned from implementation and benchmark how you can improve FAIRification programmes in your organisation.
In this 3-part series we’re joined by FAIR champions implementing these principles to better govern data across the R&D value chain, starting on Tuesday 21st July at 4 pm BST/5 pm CET/11 am EST.

Webinars:
21st July: How FAIR Champions Enable Change Management
During this virtual discussion we’ll look at who the senior stakeholders are involved in driving change management, and how companies can achieve “intent to insight” across all their data. Join us to understand the concerted efforts that are required for companies to transform their data into a strategic asset.
- Tom Plasterer, Director of Bioinformatics, Data Science & AI, BioPharmaceuticals R&D, AstraZeneca
- Martin Romacker, Principal Scientist, Roche
- Andrea Splendiani, Director of Data Strategy, Novartis
- Philippe Rocca-Serra, Group Coordinator and Associate Member of Faculty, University of Oxford e-Research Centre
- Hans Constandt, President and Founder, ONTOFORCE
28th July: Off-the-Beaten-Track Use Cases of FAIR Implementation in Life Sciences
In this session, we will look into how drug discovery related data flows from CROs to pharma to regulatory agencies. We will discuss how the data flow is affected by FAIR data and its applications.
- Dr. Ellen L. Berg, Chief Scientific Officer, Translational Biology, Eurofins Discovery
- Dr. Lawrence Callahan, Chemist, Office of Health Informatics, Global Substance Registration System/Office of Health Informatics, Office of Chief Scientist, FDA
- Dr. Isabella Feierberg, Associate Principal Scientist, AstraZeneca
- Dr. Hande Küçük McGinty, Research Scientist, Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD Inc.)
4th August: Enterprise-Wide Data Management Considerations
In this final session we’re joined by pharma leaders looking at how FAIR implementation affects broader IT and semantic technologies. Can we create synthesis between users of traditional enterprise data warehouses and those implementing federated knowledge graphs?
- Ben Gardener, Solution Architect – Knowledge Management, AstraZeneca
- Andrea Splendiani, Director of Data Strategy, Novartis
- Eric Little, CEO, LeapAnalysis
