FAIRsFAIR Final Event 2022

Between January 25th and 27th, FAIRsFAIR partners and stakeholders will meet for a series of concluding meetings to deep-dive into the results of FAIRsFAIR. They’ll analyse the impact that they managed to have on the European Research Community. They'll go once more through the tools, guidelines and best practices that they have produced and delivered to researchers, data stewards, decision makers and funders towards a better, more structured approach towards FAIR data management. They’ll take the recommendations they produced and the lessons they learnt and leave them as a legacy for future activities to come.

The core of these three days will be the FAIRsFAIR Final Event on Wednesday 26th of January!

Forget about power-points and online surveys: grab an armchair and a coffee, make yourself comfortable and join the event! An out of the ordinary fresh take on an online event has been promised!

Research is open and without borders. The #FAIR principles are not just a European matter. That’s why the event will be opened by a keynote speaker that will bring an international perspective!

During this session, representatives from FAIRsFAIR will debate on the core aspects of implementing FAIR with outstanding representatives of the European and international research community. How can the sustainability of FAIR practices be ensured? How are universities in Europe implementing and ensuring implementation of FAIR policies by students, educators and trainers? How can the FAIR principles be combined with data preservation in the long-term? And last but not least: how can the FAIR principles be truly turned into common practices to be continuously implemented by researchers and supported by funding agencies? 

The concluding session will look at the national perspective, asking how European sovereignty deals with national and language dimensions can be ensured when dealing with, for instance, aspects related to ontologies, vocabularies and specific local cultural aspects.

Our Role

Trust-IT is part of the core team leading the FAIRsFAIR Synchronisation Force charged with the organisation of the 3 main events (1 physical and 2 virtual) and the complex working teams asked to debate and produce reports and deliverables on the uptake of FAIR behaviours at a European level.

During the last 2 years Trust-IT coordinated the communication strategy of the FAIRsFAIR initiative, mapping the FAIRsFAIR’s dissemination results against each target stakeholder group and contributing to installing the Synchronisation Task Force that supports the governance structure of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), the EOSC Board Working Groups and the FAIR Champions.

Engaging your strategic community to ensure uptake of research solutions requires a structured approach, deep analytical skills and the design and implementation of communication and engagement plans made up of a mix of techniques and tools.

If you need to identify and build the perfect audience for your research activity, boost your community and organise virtual and live events, contact us, we’ll be happy to help.
