Hour	11:00 › 13:00
Speaker	Simon Dürr
Location	CE 1 711.2
Category	Conferences - Seminars
Event Language	English

In this workshop, we will learn about which tools can be used to create scientific illustrations for the life sciences and what you need to be careful about when sharing/reusing illustrations. In particular, we will cover:

Licensing and copyright for illustrations
An overview of the landscape of tools and databases to create illustrations for the life sciences
Why scientists in Switzerland legally cannot use BioRender even with the Premium plan
Open alternatives to BioRender

The objective is to give attendees insights and resources on how to think critically about creating the illustrations that are present in almost all life science papers and showcase open tools to create better illustrations that comply with the FAIR principles. After the lunch, we will host a short discussion to improve select figures from the participants and from selected papers.

The speaker Simon Dürr is a PhD student in protein design at EPFL and the developer of the free and open source database https://bioicons.com.

This event is co-hosted by EPFL Center for Imaging and EPFL Open Science.
