FAIR Management of Toxicology training materials

I developed this presentation for the INTOXICUM workshop, which focuses on the effective management of toxicology training resources. It introduces participants to best practices for treating training materials as valuable research outputs and managing them across their full lifecycle, from development to sharing and reuse.

The session emphasises the practical application of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), with particular focus on three core pillars: rich metadata, persistent identifiers, and machine interoperability. It provides concrete examples of how these principles can be implemented in real-world training contexts, including the use of community standards, Bioschemas profiles, and tools such as ELIXIR’s TeSS platform for discoverability and annotation.

Through a combination of guided explanations, hands-on exercises, and group discussions, participants learn how to describe, structure, and publish training materials in a way that enhances their visibility, usability, and long-term impact. The workshop also addresses community-specific challenges in toxicology and encourages collaborative approaches to improving training resource management.

Overall, the presentation aims to equip researchers and trainers with actionable strategies to make their training materials FAIR-compliant, reusable, and aligned with evolving standards in open science and digital research infrastructure.
