FAIR assessment and data objects

The sessions will explore the evolving landscape of FAIR data, addressing current limitations and highlighting opportunities created by emerging standards and improved data quality to enhance reuse and preservation.

These sessions will focus on FAIR assessment, metrics, data quality and the uptake of AI-ready FAIR research data within the EOSC Federation, aligning efforts across projects to improve FAIRness and streamline practices for digital objects.


The sessions focus on advancing the application of FAIR principles through the exploration of assessment tools, methods, and their role in ensuring the quality and preservation of digital objects. Participants will engage in hands-on activities and collaborative discussions to gain practical guidance on implementing FAIR assessments. Interactive discussions will provide practical guidance, technical insights, and avenues for collaboration, supporting the advancement of research data management practices within the EOSC Federation.

  • Develop a feedback matrix to enhance EOSC resources by aligning diverse approaches, sharing knowledge, and addressing common challenges.
  • Support consistent FAIR assessment across projects and communities by fostering a unified and transparent framework.
  • Provide guidance for the implementation of FAIR assessments across projects and communities within and outside of the EOSC community through hands-on activities, and collaborative discussions.
