Implementing the FAIR Data Principles: The Ethnic and Migrant Minorities' Survey Registry

This presentation introduces the newly launched, Ethnic and Migrant Minorities' (EMMs’) Survey Registry: a free online tool that has been shaped by the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and has been set up to display compiled survey-level metadata for over 800 quantitative surveys undertaken with EMM (sub)populations from over 30 different countries.

Specifically, this presentations illustrates how the FAIR principles informed the design, development, and delivery of the EMM Survey Registry. It also includes a presentation of the front and back-ends of the EMM Survey Registry to showcase how users can leverage the current metadata offerings (i.e. information about nearly 500 surveys from 14 different European countries) for various research and policy purposes, as well as how users can contribute to the EMM Survey Registry so it can be sustained and updated in the months and years to come.

The EMM Survey Registry is jointly being produced by SSHOC’s Task 9.2 (Ethnic Migration Studies) team of Work Package 9 (Data Communities), in close collaboration with COST Action 16111 – ETHMIGSURVEYDATA (an international network of more than 200 researchers active in the ethnic and migration studies field) and FAIRETHMIGQUANT (a French Agence Nationale de la Recherche funded Open Science project).
