The Energy Data Centre (EDC) used participation in the programme to focus attention on upskilling the team on FAIR principles as well as refreshing their repository’s policies and work in the context of FAIR practices.
FAIR-IMPACT’s Support Programme for Repositories and Data Service Providers aimed to help participants better understand their drivers for becoming more FAIR-enabling, self-assess their current FAIR-enabling capacity, develop an action plan with considerations for stakeholder engagement, and to work on implementing this. The support programme ran between January and September 2024, during which seven virtual workshops and continuous dedicated and tailored mentoring support was offered to help participants identify and establish their unique journey toward becoming more FAIR-enabling. This FAIR Implementation Story outlines the specific aims and actions of Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) in relation to their participation in this Support Programme.
