EOSC Synergy, together with EOSC Pillar, EOSC-Nordic, ExPaNDS , NI4OS, EOSC Future and FAIRsFAIR, invites you to the in-person workshop ‘National Policies relevant to EOSC deployment - Status, gaps, and steps towards harmonisation’, to be organised in Strasbourg, France on May 4th, 2022.
The conference brings together Research infrastructures, Researchers, Research Libraries and Archives, EOSC key-players, industry and policymakers from the Social Sciences and Humanities and beyond.
The effective exchange of metadata is critical for supporting a FAIR data ecosystem where researchers can seamlessly search for and access research data held in multiple repositories.
Following a series of community workshops and a period of public consultation, FAIRsFAIR published its Framework for assessing FAIR Services1 in August 2021. The framework aims to help service providers assess how FAIR-enabling their current practices are and provides practical guidance on areas where improvements might be made. This webinar will introduce the framework and provide an overview of the seven FAIR-enabling aspects covered. Practical tips on applying the framework will also be provided.
Increasing the findability of data is crucial for realising a FAIR ecosystem in which shared research data can be accessed, reused, and cited. Metadata catalogues play a central role in making individual repository holdings visible to aggregator services. However, integrating metadata catalogues is hindered by a lack of common standards. This webinar will provide an overview of Data Catalogue Vocabulary (DCAT) and demonstrate its potential role in supporting catalogue integration.
This workshop will share recent work undertaken by the EOSC Association to monitor additional activities and define key performance indicators relating to FAIR data policies; share the key aims of a survey on policy monitoring currently being carried out with Member States; and introduce solutions being developed by EOSC Future and FAIRsFAIR to support comparable policy monitoring moving forward.
In the context of the FAIRsFAIR project, the University of Minho, the European University Association (EUA), the University of Göttingen and the University of Amsterdam are organising an online workshop on “Supporting the uptake of FAIR data teaching and training: tools and reflections from the FAIRsFAIR project”, taking place on 15 February 2022 at 14:30-16:00 CET.
How are universities in Italy implementing and ensuring implementation of FAIR policies by students, educators and trainers? What’s the role of Data Stewards in higher education institutes in Italy? FAIRsFAIR is glad to come and visit Italy with the last event of its National Roadshow series, organised in collaboration with ICDI, the Italian Computing and Data Infrastructure, and the EOSC Pillar project.
