This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar and panel discussion ‘Sustainability of biodata resources’. This event took place on 8 March 2023.

Event description 

Environmental, agricultural and biomedical research is dependent on the availability of high quality data that is made available through biodata resources and databases hosted locally, nationally and internationally. The reality is that funding for development, maintenance and sustainability of biodata resources is often short-term and piecemeal leaving the resources that life scientists depend on in a precarious position. TheGlobal Biodata Coalition was formed in response to this challenge to provide a forum for research funders and others around the globe to better coordinate and share approaches for the efficient management and growth of biodata resources worldwide.

In this extended webinar we discuss the theme of development and sustainability of biodata resources with a panel of guests. We’ll hear about the goals and activities of theGlobal Biodata Coalition and the challenges faced by well established and highly curated Australian and international data resources (Stemformatics,Community for Antimicrobial Drug Discovery (CO-ADD) Database andInnateDB) in sustaining these resources.

The presentations and panel discussion will be followed by questions from the audience.
