A research project represents a complex +orchestration of data, code, and compute resources: Where is this data located? +Which code generated it? And where can it run? Bringing together these resources +not only poses an administrative burden for the researcher, but also often blocks +collaboration and makes it harder to trace and reproduce the research process. +There is a need for technology to help researchers work in a rigorous, transparent, +and reproducible (RTR) fashion and achieve FAIR data management (ensuring that all +data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). + +The Gatekeeper project aims to address this need within the Biomedical domain by +leveraging the open-source Renku platform, which connects the ecosystem of data, code, +and compute to empower researchers to build collaborative communities. + +In this workshop, the participants learned about some of the tools and techniques +important for FAIR data management and RTR research, and learned how to seamlessly +integrate their own research data and code into the Renku platform. In addition, participants +provided valuable feedback about new requirements and necessary extensions. We acknowledge the participants' proactivity and constructive discussions.
