GOBLET AGM 2018, Toronto

Toronto, 7 November 2018

GOBLET's 2018 Annual General Meeting was held at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) in Toronto (CA), from 6-8 November. This year’s meeting included a Bioschemas and FAIR training workshop, aiming both to build on the GOBLET-ELIXIR collaboration (developing guiding principles & standards for sharing training information) and to discuss GOBLET's contribution to a future community publication with ELIXIR.

The business meeting & Bioschemas workshop were followed by a hands-on workshop for high-school teachers, as part of the Science Teachers’ Association of Ontario (STAO) 2018 Conference.

The draft AGM Agenda can be found here.
