2nd open call for Route 2 support (CLOSED)

#2: Creating EOSC compliant Persistent Identifier (PID) policies

The persistent identification of research outputs is part of good research data management practice and are central to the FAIR Principles and the vision of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). There are many types of persistent identifiers (PIDs) currently being used to identify data and other kinds of research outputs but also different actors involved in the creation of outputs and the organisations that employ them or fund their work.

To foster harmonisation on the use of different persistent identifiers, there is a need to define and implement research data and/or PID policies. This support action will help with the definition of EOSC compliant PID policies by completing self-assessments with regard to PID policy readiness through the use of  FAIRCORE4EOSC's Compliance Assessment Toolkit (CAT) service, which strives to encode, record, and query compliance with the EOSC PID policy and more (including TRUST, FAIR, Reproducibility, GDPR, and Licences).

Successful applicants will receive 10 000 € to enable their participation. The open call is now closed.

#3: Recommendations for trustworthy and FAIR-enabling data repositories

FAIR-enabling and trustworthy data repositories play a central role in making and keeping data FAIR over time. While there is ongoing debate on what constitutes trustworthiness, there is broad agreement that transparency and evidence is essential to enable end users to make informed decisions about the repository services they use. In the scope of FAIR assessment, there are also steps to take in the findability of assessment information, and the exposure of assessment results. FAIR-IMPACT has developed guidelines to improve the transparency of, and trust in, repositories. In this support action successful applicants will have the opportunity to test the guidelines and receive guidance on exposing relevant metadata at the organisational and object level to facilitate discovery, provide context, and support interoperability.

Successful applicants will receive 4000 € to enable their participation. The open call is now closed.

#4: Improving the availability and machine readability of data policies with FAIRsharing

To ensure that researchers are working in a FAIR-enabling ecosystem, policymakers at the national, funding body, publisher, and organisational levels have been developing and aligning their policies to support the creation and use of data that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Monitoring the evolving policy landscape is labour intensive and focuses mainly on what is happening at the national level. As such, it can be hard to know what is happening at the institutional and research infrastructure level where most of the research is carried out. To provide a more complete picture of the policy landscape, this support action will work support the registration of data policies from a wider range of stakeholders using FAIRsharing and work collectively to consider how we can leverage this shared pool of information for ongoing policy monitoring activities. 

Successful applicants will receive 4000 € to enable their participation. The open call is now closed.
