1 May 2026
Join us for our 24th webinar in the 1000FARMS series. In this session, Dr Kauê de Sousa, Scientist at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, will walk us through important updates to ClimMob’s metadata registration system.
Date: Thursday 7 May
Time: 14:00–14:30 (CET)
Summary
Dr de Sousa has played a leading role in developing the tricot approach and the ClimMob platform, and in this session he will explain why the metadata framework was redesigned to better meet FAIR principles – Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability – and what this means in practice for users running decentralized on-farm trials. The webinar will cover the changes users can expect, how the new system supports long-term data sharing and publication, and offer practical guidance on registering metadata under the new format.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why ClimMob’s metadata framework was redesigned and what FAIR principles mean for tricot datasets
- What specific changes users can expect in the updated metadata registration system
- How the new framework improves interoperability and documentation quality across trials
- How to register metadata under the new format – step-by-step practical guidance
- What the improvements mean for long-term data sharing, reuse and open publication of tricot data
