+[Nexus](https://www.nexus.ethz.ch) and Swiss Data Science Center organized the
+workshop "Empowering FAIR data and reproducible research" within the
+[Personalized Health Technologies 2024 event](https://personalizedhealth.ch/#overview).
+Participants could learn about the Gatekeeper project, where Renku is leveraged
+for empowering researchers to build collaborative communities within the biomedical
+domain by bringing together data, code and compute.
+
+Open research leads not only to better collaboration and reuse, but also better
+efficiency for the individual researcher. 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.
