In early April 2019, Dr Samantha Kanza and Dr Nicola Knight attended the Paperless Lab Academy. This was a fascinating conference with a strong focus on Research Data Management and different strategies to not only go paperless in the lab, but also how best to organise one’s data. There were a range of talks and workshops/demos including some on FAIR data and the use of semantic web technologies both in conjunction with AI and for interoperability purposes. This event was an excellent opportunity to see how digital solutions are being utilised in different areas, in particular, how they are being developed in Industry.
