The workshops of the FAIR-IMPACT support programme on FAIR implementation.

The project

The FAIR-IMPACT project Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC, opens an external URL in a new window is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme. It started in June 2022 and is coordinated by DANS and supported by 27 additional partners, opens an external URL in a new window from 11 countries.

The project aims to expand FAIR solutions across Europe to allow researchers to find, access, reuse, and combine research results. It supports adopting the FAIR principles and implementing FAIR-enabling practices, tools, and services across scientific communities at a European, national, and institutional level.

The support programme for repositories and data service providers

The current, second support program, opens an external URL in a new window is based on six workshops that will take place approximately every month from September 2024 to March 2025. In the workshops and during the independent work periods in between, the FAIR-IMPACT experts will train and support the participants to

  • understand drivers for becoming more FAIR-enabling
  • assess their current FAIR-enabling capabilities
  • find suitable tools, approaches, and methods
  • develop a FAIR implementation action plan and engagement strategy
  • exchange with and learn from peers.    

The programme ends with an exit interview, which will be conducted in April 2025 to discuss the key actions and lessons learned. The outcomes of this interview will be summarised in a co-produced FAIR Implementation Story.

We appreciate this opportunity to improve our services. The entire data repository team will be involved in the programme to cover technical and policy aspects.
