The first open call for FAIR support closed on June 1st with 51 applications submitted. Applicants will be informed on the decision on applications by July 2023. The support actions will begin in early autumn 2023.

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

At the end of 2022, two groups of the EOSC Association Task Force on FAIR Metrics and Data Quality published two reports. The team working on metrics, certification and guidelines appreciated the opportunity to respond to both documents to detail the project views and intended contributions.

FAIR-IMPACT has just launched the first of three Open Calls for Support, offering two defined support actions designed to enhance the FAIRness of data, semantic artefacts and data-related services. Applications will be accepted until 1 June 2023.

We are glad to announce that 12 experts have been selected as EOSC FAIR Champions!

The FAIR-IMPACT Synchronisation Force 2022 workshop run between the 21st November and 12th December 2022. More than 120 people registered for the series of 6 online sessions. Based on the workshop input and discussions, this report provides supporting recommendations for each of the FAIR related topics discussed.

York Sure-Vetter, professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Director of NFDI, the German National Research Data Infrastructure, and Michelle Barker, Director of the Research Software Alliance (ReSA), were appointed chair and co-chair of the FAIR-IMPACT High Level Advisory Committee.

FAIR-IMPACT is glad to announce the opening of its call for FAIR Champions, a group of 12 experts who will be on board to act as ambassadors for FAIR, engage their community, and advocate for adoption of the project results.

The European Research Data Landscape study looks at researchers’ practices in producing, reusing and depositing data, and in making it FAIR, as well as examining the research data repository landscape. It was commissioned by the European Commission and FAIR-IMPACT partners DANS and DCC contributed to it
