Knowledge Pixels Incubator

Our incubator program is where new use cases around nanopublications can start and grow.

What we are looking for

We are looking for individuals interested in:

  • Making the first steps of applying the nanopublication ecosystem to their use case
  • Exploring ways to obtain funding to implement their use case through co-creation with Knowledge Pixels

What you get

As part of the incubator program you will receive:

  • Supervision and guidance
  • Weekly office hours with our developers
  • Prioritized feature requests
  • Materials to help you pitch your use case
  • Visibility of your use case via our website, Nanodash, and other channels

FAQ

Do I need to be a programmer to apply?

  • You don't need to be a programmer, but you should be comfortable of doing technical work, such as defining templates in Nanodash and formally modeling knowledge

Can I apply as a group or as an organization?

  • We ask you to apply as individual. You can have others helping you and your organization be named and involved, but we need a single contact point as applicant and throughout the project. Update: We are now also accepting duo projects, with two individuals applying.

How long do incubator projects run?

  • Incubator projects have a default life span of six months, but they can terminate early and extensions are possible too

Do you have a question that is not listed here?

#1: FAIR Vocabularies for Chemical Risk Assessment

by Gertjan Bisschop, VITO

As part of the PARC (Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals) consortium, we are developing a FAIR data platform that will help assess the health impact of chemicals. A crucial component of this platform is the management of vocabularies. Since the platform is intended to support ongoing and evolving research from institutes across Europe, we consider dynamic, community-driven vocabulary management to be essential. We believe that nanopublications offer a strong foundation for achieving this goal. Our initial focus will be on the vocabularies associated with the Personal Exposure and Health domain, with the aim of extending this approach to other domains within PARC, encouraging the reuse of the workflows and pipelines we develop.
