Strengthening coordination and data harmonisation through an EEG101 STSM

Anne-Sophie Dubarry completed a Short-Term Scientific Mission at the University of Leeds, bringing the EEG101 Chair and Vice-Chair together to align strategic priorities and advance Working Group 2 activity on data curation and harmonisation.

When: 12–18 April 2026
Where: Leeds, United Kingdom
Host: University of Leeds
Working Group: WG2

Why this mattered

Aligning coordination with technical collaboration

The mission brought together the EEG101 Chair and Vice-Chair to align Grant Period 1 priorities, prepare the framework for Grant Period 2, and strengthen coordination across the Action. It also supported Working Group 2 activity by connecting discussions of EEG data curation and harmonisation with Research Software Engineering perspectives on scientific software, interoperability, and data standardisation.

What it enabled

Key outcomes

Strategic alignment on Grant Period 1 priorities and preparation for Grant Period 2
Engagement with Research Software Engineering teams on scientific software, interoperability, and data standardisation
Creation of the EEG101 YouTube channel and curation of the first WG2 Virtual Symposium playlist
Initial drafting of a position paper on standardisation, ethical frameworks, and open science

What comes next

Extending the collaboration

The visit established a basis for continued work on open and interoperable EEG research practices. The planned follow-up links scientific, coordination, and software-development work across the network.

Further development of the position paper with the EEG101 Core Group, Management Committee, and wider stakeholders
Continued collaboration with Research Software Engineering teams
Planned work to connect EEGManyLabs retrospective harmonisation workflows with prospective BIDS-conversion frameworks
Expansion of the EEG101 YouTube channel with further scientific and training materials
