*ESSI3.4 Session Description:*(Inter)National Treasures: Advancing access,
accreditation, and use of physical samples and collections to accelerate
discovery in the Earth, environmental, & planetary sciences

Physical samples play a central role in the earth, environmental, and
planetary sciences. Studies of these samples will inform future science,
but also critical decisions, laws, and policies of societal relevance. Most
of these samples are national assets due to the sources of funding for
their curation, and governments are recognizing the requirements to make
these samples discoverable and available for ongoing research and
reproducibility. Valuable samples are also collected and studied by the
academic community, but essential infrastructure and policies for
preservation and access of these samples are lagging behind to fulfill
requirements for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)
samples. This session invites contributions regarding national and
organizational policies that: increase sample visibility, use and tracking;
promote recommended practices in sample management; and measure and
demonstrate the value of physical samples to science and society.

Conveners: Kerstin Lehnert, Lindsay Powers, and Lesley Wyborn

Please distribute this request to your colleagues as appropriate.

Thank you,
Sarah Ramdeen
