2026 Groningen Semantic Metabolomics ELIXIR Workshop

A unique opportunity for the metabolomics community to shape the future of reproducible, integrable, and FAIR metabolomics data !

Join us at the next ELIXIR RCI-M Metabolomics Workshop, which will be held in person on 16 and 17 February 2026 in the beautiful city of Groningen (NL) — a unique opportunity for the metabolomics community to shape reproducible, comparable, integrable and FAIR metabolomics data!

This event presents the first results of the ELIXIR RCI-M implementation study, which addresses issues of data harmonisation, semantic modelling and metadata standards for metabolomics. Together, we propose to explore new frameworks for integrating our metabolomic profiles across all omics, enriching our annotations and contributing to the development of ontologies necessary for our field, thereby improving comparisons between studies and reliable data interpretation.

Participants will take part in hands-on sessions and learn how to leverage tools (EBI MetaboLights), formats (mzQC, mzTab-M) and semantic resources (Ontologies, OLS). Whether you are a researcher, developer, or data manager, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the next generation of interoperable standards and artefacts, and see how to adopt and evolve them in practice.
