Why share your data?
Presented in two parts, this webinar will explore the value of sharing your data from an institutional and researcher perspective.
Our first speaker, Ewan Birney, is one of the directors of EMBL-EBI. He speaks about how the growth in data over the past decade has changed the way that we approach biology and how EMBL-EBI provides some of the infrastructure to allow data sharing. He finishes up by highlighting the benefits of data sharing to the EMBL-EBI and shares his top four reasons for sharing data.
Our second speaker, Elisabeth Busch, is the head of the Vertebrate Genetics and Genomics Group at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge. She tells us about her experiences in sharing her own research data, and the reasons that she felt compelled to share her data including the advantages for her own research.
