- Booklet (agenda, abstract, additional information)
The OpenRiskNet project, developing and implementing an open e-infrastructure addressed to research and industrial communities performing risk assessment of consumer products like chemicals, cosmetics or drugs, is in its third and final year.
To disseminate the achievements and implemented concepts of the project, make the stakeholders aware of the solutions developed, find the best options for the adoption by other projects or organisations, a final workshop is organized. The event will create the perfect environment for current and future users of OpenRiskNet services, developer and administrators as well as the members of related (e-)infrastructure communities to interact with OpenRiskNet developers, modellers and project managers, learn more about the success of the community building efforts fostered by the associated partner programme and the implementation challenges, establish and strengthen links to other projects and organize the transfer of the technology into these.
The workshop is addressing all OpenRiskNet stakeholders (scientific, industrial and regulatory communities) that are invited to participate in this interactive event. This will ensure that all relevant and target groups that need to be aware of the project achievements have access to this information and are enabled to give feedback, and also be trained on the provided solutions.
Therefore we invite members of research organisations, academia, regulators and governmental agencies, SMEs and CROs, members of EU infrastructure initiatives to join us for the final workshop. Besides researchers, risk assessors and regulators, the workshop is specifically designed to provide the needed information for developers on how to integrate additional services and for system administrators on deployment options of the virtual research environments in parallel session.
A significant part of the event (day 1) will focus on the case studies, demonstrations and hands-on training sessions, where the teams involved in the development and implementation will present and demonstrate the use of the services included in the OpenRiskNet e-infrastructure.
Day 2 will then focus on the outreach and sustainability aspects:
The implementation challenges were implemented as an innovative part of the associated partners programme during the project and linked ten new organisations intensively to project as service providers and early adopters. Complementary services from these partners can now be used and were integrated in the case studies workflow
The sustainability measures, the support and maintenance of the infrastructure after the end of the project, collaborations and links created with other communities will be highlighted and discussed with representatives of other major pan-European infrastructures and policy makers.

Resources & Training materials
In this exercise, the deployment of an OpenRiskNet application (Lazar) was demonstrated using OpenShift Command-Line (OpenRiskNet development Workshop - Exercise C: https://github.com/OpenRiskNet/workshop/blob/master/wp2-deployment-workshop-2019/exercise-c/README.md)
The Final OpenRiskNet Workshop was organised on 23-24 October 2019 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The topic of the events was "Creating powerful workflows combining data and software services demonstrated on risk assessment case studies". The workshop was attended by 53 participants, representing all OpenRiskNet stakeholders (scientific, industrial and regulatory communities). This ensured that all relevant and targeted groups that need to be aware of the project achievements have access to this information and are enabled to give feedback, and also be trained on the provided solutions.
