Register: Data Lakes & FAIR Principles: Making Scientific Data Accessible and Actionable

Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2025 1–2pm EDT
Event Location: Virtual

Scientific data is growing exponentially, yet much of it remains siloed, difficult to access, and underutilized. For life sciences organizations, the ability to store, manage, and share research data effectively can directly accelerate discovery and development.

Join PTP, AWS and Quilt Data for an insightful webinar exploring how modern data lake architectures, built on AWS, can help your organization adopt FAIR data principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—to unlock the full potential of your scientific data.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why FAIR data principles are essential for maximizing the value of research data
• How AWS-powered data lakes enable secure, scalable, and compliant data storage and access
• Best practices for structuring and curating scientific data to make it actionable
• Real-world examples of life sciences organizations accelerating R&D through FAIR data strategies
