Support programme for repositories and data service providers

The FAIR Principles focus on characteristics of digital objects that make them Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Achieving and maintaining those characteristics depends on the individuals and organisations that create, store, curate, and preserve the objects. These activities are ‘FAIR-enabling’, and repositories and data service providers play an important role in facilitating them.

FAIR-IMPACT is here to help repositories and data service providers  assess your current FAIR-enabling capabilities and develop action plans to improve them. We will introduce you to services and tools that address a wide range of topics, such as:

• Repository policy, e.g. ACME-FAIR, Data support policy for photon and neutron science;
• Making objects in the repository more FAIR, e.g. CESSDA Data Archiving Guide, FAIR Cookbook;
• Automated FAIR assessment, e.g. F-UJI, Framework for assessing FAIR services;
• Repository certification, e.g. CoreTrustSeal+FAIRenabling Capability Maturity Model, FAIRsFAIR repository support.

We go beyond the formal FAIR principles and also include guidance for effective strategies to engage with your community and position your organisation in the research landscape. In other words, we are here to make your organisation more successful.
