The next NanoCommons Consortium Meeting will take place in Athens, Greece (8-9 October 2018) in conjunction with the OpenTox Europe 2018 Conference. During the meeting the NanoCommons team will build on the results of the ongoing tools for the nanosafety community survey and decide on those that will be offered first during the project’s first…
At a recent hackathon organised by the European Research Council, GeneWiki, and others, a group of 25 researchers came together in Berlin to work on ontologically modelling research grants in Wikidata. During this meeting the EU NanoSafety Cluster was used as use case study, resulting in new linked data around the cluster. The Scholia platform was extended with a Project…

NanoCommons ontology expert Egon Willighagen (Maastricht University) and Éva Valsami-Jones (University of Birmingham, NSC Coordinator) attended the workshop organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and the European Materials Modelling Council to kick-start a bottom-up group of experts interested in “materials informatics” more particular ontologies. The workshop aimed to find experts who are interested in…
Vladimir Lobaskin (University College Dublin) and Tassos Papadiamantis (University of Birmingham) attended the 2018 eSSENCE Multiscale Modelling Meeting (Ångström Laboratory, 11-13 June, Uppsala, Sweden). The meeting brought together researchers from computational chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and engineering traditionally to discuss the use of traditional physics-based models, and the current excitement about big data and machine…
NanoCommons was present at the OpenTox Asia 2018 conference, organised by Douglas Connect, to promote the project’s data management goals and approach. The presentation on data management for nanosafety research (abstract), was given by Tassos Papadiamantis of the University of Birmingham and focused on the need of data management in nanosafety research and how it can…
Tassos Papadiamantis of the University of Birmingham presented NanoCommons’ data management goals and approach. His presentation focused on the need of data management in nanosafety research and how it can cover all aspects of the nanosafety data lifecycle, starting from experimental planning and reaching FAIR data. Data management can also ensure that collected data stay safe, can be…
Tassos Papadiamantis and Tom Carney (University of Birmingham) are members of the Organising Committee of the 3rd NanoSafety Forum for Young Scientists that is going to take place on 10-11 September 2018, Valletta, Malta. Tassos is also member of the Scientific Committee and will be chairing the thematic session on “Data Modelling, handling and management”. The 3rd…
