FAIR-IMPACT Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC
With the ambitious goal to realise an EOSC of FAIR data and services, the FAIR-IMPACT project supports the implementation of FAIR principles across scientific communities at European, national and institutional level through a matrix of coordination, engagement and support activities.
The project identifies practices, policies, tools and technical specifications to guide researchers, repository managers, research performing organisations, policy makers and citizen scientists towards a FAIR data management cycle. The focus is on persistent identifiers (PIDs), metadata, ontologies, metrics, certification and interoperability, starting with real-life use cases on social sciences and humanities, the photon and neutron sciences, life sciences and agri-food and environmental sciences.
FAIR-IMPACT is providing a support programme offering set of support actions that will help applicants from Research Performing Organisations, Data service providers and Repositories, and national level initiatives, learn how to use specific tools/methods/approaches which will help them start (or continue) their journey to becoming more FAIR-enabling.
In order to maximise collaboration with the EOSC and FAIR ecosystems, FAIR-IMPACT deploys three main coordination mechanisms: a Technical Bridging Team, FAIR Implementation Team and Synchronisation Force, and sets up a group of EOSC FAIR Champions that will act as ambassadors for FAIR, engage their communities, and advocate for adoption of the project results.
FAIR-IMPACT “Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC” is funded by the European Commission Horizon Europe programme. It is coordinated by DANS and supported by 27 additional partners from 11 countries.
