Open Data practices and FAIR principles — Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable — are more and more central to various European research infrastructure activities as they allow to verify and reproduce data, fundamental processes for the progress of science. While their benefits start to be clear also to a broader scientific community, a significant effort is needed to make scientific results useful and sustainable.
In the first part of this workshop, the approaches adopted within the NFFA-Europe Pilot project are presented, starting from the requirements and guidelines provided by the European Commission and then focusing on the solutions and tools implemented to realise them in practice, concerning in particular the design and deployment of the (meta)data infrastructure, the data management plan and the online data services, to conclude with some examples of successful stories.
The second part of the workshop gives an insight from other communities, with the presentation of practical use cases from other relevant European research projects.
