The kick-off meeting for the FAIR Data Austria project took place on 11 March 2020. Within the framework of this project, infrastructures for research data management at the TU Wien are being further developed. The TU Wien will provide its researchers a data repository and an institutional GitLab instance as well as an automated data management plan tool. A central contact point for questions about the FAIR principles will also be offered in the near future.
The FAIR Data Austria project is one of the selected digitisation projects at public universities which are funded by the BMBWF between 2020 and 2024. Core project partners are TU Graz and the University of Vienna.
