The increasing complexity and volume of data generated by Photon and Neutron (PaN) facilities necessitate robust strategies for effective data storage management.
This satellite workshop aims to bring together infrastructure managers, data stewards, and technical leads to share insights and experiences related to data storage solutions, experimental data workflows, data retention policies, and archiving practices.
Participants will engage in discussions to identify common challenges and explore innovative approaches to optimizing data management processes. The workshop seeks to foster collaboration and promote the adoption of best practices to enhance data accessibility, integrity, and long-term preservation. By creating a platform for structured knowledge exchange, we aim to improve the overall efficiency and sustainability of data handling in PaN facilities, ensuring that critical experimental data are not only preserved but also readily accessible for future research and discovery.
The workshop will open with short presentations informed by a pre-meeting survey distributed to participants, summarizing current practices and key challenges in data storage management. Subsequently, facilitated working group sessions will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion and collaborative problem-solving.
