Thursday, November 2, 10.30-12.00 CET:
Plenary Orientation session
This orientation session will give an introduction to the FAIR-IMPACT project and guide participants through the Synchronisation Force workshop goals, topics, the benchmark recommendations that will guide the discussion and what we expect from participants.
Topic Session 1: Monday, November 27, 13.00-14.30 CET:
Metrics and assessing FAIRness
Chair: Mike Priddy, DANS
Rapporteur: Maaike Verburg, DANS
In this session, we will look into the metrics and tools available for the FAIRness assessment of data, software, and semantic artefacts. We will discuss current topics, such as domain-sensitive assessments, convergence of tools, and the most effective use and interpretation of tools and their results.
The programme is still being finalized - stay tuned!
Topic Session 2: Tuesday, November 28, 10.30-12.00 CET:
Metadata, semantics and interoperability
Chair: Esteban Gonzales, UPM
Rapporteur: TBC
Interoperability is one of the FAIR Principles that recently has taken up more and more attention. Interoperability will often be the more challenging principles of the four principles - indeed when we want to address interoperability across scientific domains. In this session we will explore the subject of semantic and technical interoperability within and across scientific domains. The aim of the workshop will be to explore the semantic and technical interoperability adopted by representatives from different research communities and institutions to explore their compliance with the EOSC Interoperability Framework’s recommendations. We expect participation from different scientific domains in order to get a picture of their semantic and technical practices. Our point of departure for addressing semantic and technical interoperability is the EOSC interoperability framework.

Topic Session 3: Thursday, November 30, 10.30-12.00 CET:
Persistent identifiers
Chair: Jessica Parland-von Essen, CSC
Rapporteur: Liisa Marjamaa-Mankinen, CSC
The goal of this session is to provide input for the PID Policy assessment regarding the more qualitative factors, especially those related to trust and sustainability. The session will begin with short presentations of the PID Compliance Assessment Tool done in FAIRCORE4EOSC and the integrated PID use cases in FAIR-IMPACT. Representatives of these use cases, PIDs in data production workflows, PIDs in complex data citation and PIDs and sensitive data, will reflect on the relevant PID solutions and requirements and identify gaps. They will also describe how they evaluate different PID services and systems.

Topic Session 4: Tuesday, December 5, 14.00-15.30 CET:
Trustworthy and FAIR-enabling repositories
Chair: Joy Davidson and Laurence Horton, DCC
Rapporteur: Maaike Verburg, DANS
In this session we will discuss the current mechanisms and cooperation opportunities for Trustworthy and FAIR-enabling repositories. We will look into the wider range of transparency and trust, and the incremental and sustainable support needed.

Topic Session 5: Thursday, December 7, 15.00-16.30 CET:
Legal & organisational interoperability
Chair: Olivier Rouchon, CNRS
Rapporteur: Anne Sofie Fink, DeIC
Legal interoperability seems sometimes to have been overshadowed by semantic and technical interoperability in the EOSC interoperability framework. However, legal interoperability is of utmost importance for realising the EOSC as a web of FAIR data and related services. Legal interoperability is about ensuring that organisations operating under different legal frameworks, policies and strategies are able to work together. This might require that legislation does not block the establishment of European public services within and between Member States and that there are clear agreements about how to deal with differences in legislation across borders, including the option of putting in place new legislation. In this session we will pick on the issues of legal interoperability in the perspectives of different scientific domains.
