In this webinar, our panellist will discuss aspects related to developing and implementing standards, as well as showcasing success stories and how these are accepted by the community and further scientific advances. In addition, we will explore how projects can be supported and what structures are in place to work towards sustainable standards.

Speakers
Robert Hanson, Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus, St. Olaf College, USA
Robert Hanson, Professor of Chemistry (Emeritus) at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, USA, serves as chair of the IUPAC Project Development of a Standard for FAIR Data Management of Spectroscopic Data (IUPAC project page or github page). The objective of this project is to apply FAIR data principles to spectroscopic data in the field of chemistry building on IUPAC’s extensive expertise in this area. Project publications to date include IUPAC specification for the FAIR management of spectroscopic data in chemistry (IUPAC FAIRSpec) – guiding principles and FAIRSpec-Ready Spectroscopic Data Collections – Advice for Researchers, Authors, and Data Managers (IUPAC Technical Report).
