The H2020 funded FAIRsFAIR project “Fostering FAIR Data Practices In Europe” runs from March 2019 to February 2022. It will 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, we now seek input from a wide range of organisations already helping to make data FAIR. Please work with us to build a knowledge-base of current FAIR policies and practices that we will share with the community. Your input will also inform practical recommendations in this area.
We invite contributions to two surveys – one focusing on policies and practices, and the other more focused on semantics and interoperability. We welcome individual contributions to either or both surveys and encourage multiple responses from an organisation, reflecting different views and areas of expertise.
The consultation period runs until September 20th, 2019. To take part, please visit [ https://www.fairsfair.eu/fairsfair-open-consultation-fair-data-policies-… | https://www.fairsfair.eu/fairsfair-open-consultation-fair-data-policies-… ] and select the survey you are best able to contribute to.
We greatly appreciate your time and will make the resulting anonymised data widely available for reuse.
All the best,
