The H2020 funded FAIRsFAIR project 'Fostering FAIR Data Practices In Europe' runs from March 2019 to February 2022. It aims to offer practical solutions for implementing FAIR data principles, with a focus on fostering a FAIR data culture and promoting good practices. FAIRsFAIR will offer a platform to support the day-to-day work of European research data providers and repositories. FAIRsFAIR will also support implementation of the Rules of Participation (RoP) and regulatory compliance that organisations need to participate in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), helping to progress from pilots to a functioning infrastructure.
Building upon the findings of recent studies, input is now needed from a wide range of organisations already helping to make data FAIR. The intention is to build a knowledge-base of current FAIR policies and practices that can be shared with the community. Input will also inform practical recommendations in this area.
Contributions are invited to two surveys; one focusing on policies and practices, and the other more focused on semantics and interoperability. Individual contributions to either or both surveys are welcomed, and multiple responses from organisations – reflecting different views and areas of expertise – are encouraged.
The consultation period runs until 20 September 2019. To take part, visit the FAIRsFAIR Open Consultation webpage.
