4TU.ResearchData: A repository service and community for FAIR data

About the Speakers:
Kees den Heijer, Senior Developer, 4TU.ResearchData
Madeleine de Smaele, Repository Manager, 4TU.ResearchData
Connie Clare, Community Manager, 4TU.ResearchData

4TU.ResearchData is an international data repository for science, engineering and design disciplines. Built around the technical infrastructure, the online community comprises researchers, research data supporters (data stewards, data managers, research software engineers, IT and communications specialists) and technical experts (repository back office staff). The goal of the community is to provide an inclusive space for members to connect and exchange knowledge about best practices for the creation and reuse of FAIR data within diverse scientific domains. This includes the development and provision of discipline-specific guidance, training and resources to support researchers in making their data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (The FAIR Principles).

About the presentation:
This presentation was delivered during a webinar organised by 4TU.ResearchData, the University of Twente DCC (UT-DCC) and the Open Science Community Twente (OSCT).

4TU.ResearchData presented an overview of their repository services and community for FAIR data. Part one of the presentation provided detailed information about the technical infrastructure to support FAIR data. Part two provided information about the community (human infrastructure) around the data repository.
