Preparing the FAIR-IMPACT Synchronisation Force 2023 Workshop

FAIR-IMPACT continues a dialogue for collaboration and harmonisation with various projects, initiatives, and actors in both EOSC and FAIR ecosystems. We do this to reduce redundancy and to ensure that solutions are more widely promoted, sustainable and can be transferred to the relevant EOSC Partnership, with the final aim to support current and future EOSC stakeholders to take the next step in implementing FAIR-enabling practices.

It's now time to start preparing the Second Synchronisation Force Workshop which will take place in Autumn 2023!

In order to learn from past editions and improve the organisation of the event, we kindly ask all participants to the 2022 edition to respond to the 4 questions below. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and it will only take you 2 minutes!
