First steps on a FAIR Journey

Researchers are hearing from many sides that their data must be made FAIR, and are often presented with many services that sound very complicated. This presentation shows that there are first steps along a FAIR journey that any researcher can take, and it briefly presents the Data Stewardship Wizard as a way to find out further steps that are suitable for any project specifically. The presentation also attempts to show that an investment in FAIR Data Management can be and should be beneficial to the project and its outcomes, not only to hypothetical re-users of data.

This presentation was given in the third of a workshop series by the European Commission, titled "Maximizing investments in health research: FAIR data for a coordinated COVID-19 response".
