Connecting laboratory devices offers huge opportunities – but is often complex. The open-source standard SiLA 2 provides a solution: it simplifies instrument and software integration, improves data quality, and enables the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
SiLA Consortium in partnership with BAM Akademie invites you to a free of charge, hands-on hackathon on October 16th in Berlin, Germany. Seize your chance to explore the SiLA 2 standard and join us for a day of information exchange and learning-by-doing.
With SiLA Director Dr. Patrick Courtney and Stefan Maak (University of Uppsala).
Get to know the basics of SiLA, build small applications, and connect devices in a collaborative environment.
Highlights:
- Introduction to SiLA 2 & practical exercises
- Interactive sessions: from Hello World servers to the Toy Lab
- Work with Arduino, 3D printers, plate readers & more
- Exchange with experts and peers
Who should join? Students, PhD candidates, postdocs, researchers, and developers in life sciences, material sciences, pharma, and engineering (basic Python knowledge recommended).
Don’t miss the chance to experience the future of laboratory automation hands-on – and shape it together with us!
