Implementation & Adoption Stories

The FAIR-IMPACT Implementation stories illustrate good practices in research communities and organisations to support the implementation of the FAIR principles.

Implementation Story
Improving FAIRness for GeoSphere Austria

A team from GeoSphere Austria used F-UJI to assess and improve the FAIRness of their data repository. 

FAIRness Assessment Challenge. During the 3-month challenge participants took part in three virtual workshops to self-assess and incrementally improve the FAIRness of their selected outputs. During the support action, participants benefited from interacting with a group of mentors representing the various FAIRness assessment tools and methods.

Implementation Story
Assessing the FAIRness of the Erasmus University Rotterdam Data Repository
A research data steward from Erasmus University Rotterdam used two different tools, F-UJI and FDMM, to assess and improve the FAIRness of their institutional data repository.
Implementation Story
Translating FAIR assessment results into improved metadata and workflow procedures in a social sciences data repository in Bosnia and Herzegovina

A coordinator of the Data Archive for Social Sciences in Bosnia andHerzegovina (DASS-BiH) used F-UJI and FDMM to assess the FAIRness of datasets in the catalogue, with the aim of translating the assessment results into practical actions and workflow procedures in the repository.

Implementation Story
First impressions on FAIRness from technology consultancy firm Datrix

Assessing and improving existing research software
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology lab is a young group established in 2024 at Brno University of Technology. As one of the few truly interdisciplinary labs combining computer science expertise with its own experimental laboratories worldwide, we aim to develop research software for microbiologists, biotechnologists, and molecular biologists. We joined the ‘Assessing the FAIRness of Software’ support action to understand better how to assess and improve the FAIRness of our research software.
