Webinar Summary

The Pistoia Alliance is bringing together two important communities—Data Governance and Lab of the Future—in a series of 3 webinars dedicated to the Data Standards – The Adoption of Common and Open Data Standards for the Lab of the Future.

 This series of webinars is intended to trigger a discussion around the actionable steps that can be done as a community to facilitate the adoption of common standards, as a prerequisite for having the Lab of the Future. In the first webinar, we will be hosted discussions about different Data Standards and their use case applications.
