5.00pm Electronic Laboratory Notebooks and the Management of Modern Scientific Research and Development – an Industry Perspective
John Trigg, Managing Director, phaseFour Informatics, UK
John Trigg has over 20 years’ experience of working in the field of R&D data, information and knowledge management including 10 years experience of the world’s first enterprise level implementation of an Electronic Lab Notebook at Kodak. He will provide an overview of the critical emerging role of ELNs in modern industry research.
5.30pm Electronic Laboratory Notebooks as Engines of Knowledge for Research and Development – a Knowledge Management Perspective
Dr. Barry Hardy, Founder of the InnovationWell Community of Practice and Director, Knowledge Management Institute, Switzerland
Barry Hardy will provide an overview of the critical knowledge management strategies and methodologies for enabling productivity and successful outcomes in collaborative-based R&D. He will discuss knowledge assessment approaches aimed at the continuous improvement of the innovation and performance of the R&D organisation and its support ELN systems.
6.00pm ELN Framework Requirements to Support Collaborative Multidisciplinary R&D – A Solutions Perspective
Dr. Jeff Spitzner, President & Chief Science Officer, Rescentris; Ohio, USA
Jeff Spitzner is a leading expert in bioinformatics, knowledge management, and electronic laboratory notebook systems. In 1997 he co-authored the BSML data standard for bioinformatics, the pioneering XML technology in the life sciences; today he provides the vision and guides the development of Rescentris products. He will discuss the design and implementation of collaboration frameworks for the management of scientific research, and the role of semantic web technologies in record-keeping solutions that support the integrated R&D organization.
6.30pm Panel Discussion with Audience
The speakers and audience will discuss Electronic Laboratory Notebooks and their role in managing and supporting R&D in today’s complex multidisciplinary scientific environment.
7.00pm Reception
Drinks, Snacks, Software Demos … and more discussions!
