ESFRI-EOSC Task Force releases opinion paper on FAIR data
The ESFRI-EOSC Task Force has published an opinion paper highlighting the importance of FAIR principles in research and innovation. The paper, titled "FAIR Data productivity and advanced digitalization of research: an opinion paper by the ESFRI-EOSC Task Force and Steering Board expert group (E03756)", focuses on Quality-Assessed FAIR-Data (QAFAIRD) productivity, aiming to evaluate and enhance FAIR data practices in Research Infrastructures (RIs) and clusters.
Key objectives of the initiative include assessing current FAIR data productivity levels, identifying bottlenecks, and determining necessary EOSC services for improvement. The paper also explores the impact of AI tools on FAIR data management and research protocols. This publication underscores the Task Force's commitment to promoting transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration across scientific fields through FAIR data practices.
This work is based on the results of the ESFRI-EOSC Policy Workshop on “FAIR Data Productivity and Advanced Digitalization” that took place on 23-24 January 2024, in Milan, Italy.
