From Imaging to Insight: A FAIR Knowledge
Infrastructure for Integrated Characterisation and Safety Profiling of
Graphene-Family Materials

📅 VIRTUAL EVENT | June 10, 2026 | 10:00–11:00 CET –

ACCORDs KI Webinar: Linking Imaging, Characterisation and Risk Assessment

ACCORDs invites you to a focused virtual workshop introducing the ACCORDs Knowledge Infrastructure — an integrated FAIR-compliant platform designed to support harmonised characterization and safety profiling of graphene-family materials and other advanced materials. The session will present how imaging data, physico-chemical characterization, biological testing, and risk-related information can be connected within a structured digital environment to enable reproducible workflows and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The workshop will showcase key functionalities of the platform, including the image atlas, protocol integration, multi-modal characterization approaches, AI/ML-supported analysis workflows, and the linking of experimental results to materials and protocols.

Practical examples involving graphene-family materials will demonstrate how the infrastructure supports advanced data analysis and decision-making, with broader applicability to other advanced materials.

Participants will also have the opportunity to explore practical use cases and engage with project partners through short expert presentations and a live demonstration of the ACCORDs Knowledge Infrastructure.
