On May 8 and 14, the FDRI Digital team hosted successful online workshops focused on user interface design. We gained a rich understanding of how best to design the public interfaces to FDRI data including the landing page, data portal, and APIs and how to make them as accessible as possible to different user groups.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to the discussions. The topics covered were broad, and included the capacity for these platforms to support teaching, data and metadata accessibility and data visualisation. We will now be using the insights gained from the workshops to inform the design of our public-facing data platforms within FDRI and look forward to gaining more feedback from the community in the future.

A full workshop report will follow in the coming weeks. When we need further insights from the user community we will be reaching out through our mailing list and on social media, so do make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss an opportunity to contribute.
