• Long history since early 1990s as an e-infra provider

• FAR is fine, I is a standard issue.• Interoperability is remaining a wish ...


Planned contribution to EOSC goals • Second most important contribution:

development and operation of own infrastructure as much as possible in line with the EOSC

• Primary importance (we believe): Draw repeatedly the attention to risks, responsibility, simplifying governance, need of B-plans

Main goal(s) to be achieved through the GO FAIR Initiative• Not yet decided if joining or not.• If finally the decision is joining, then watching, listening, learning

is the first priority.• Major goal is to understand the difference between EOSC and GO

FAIR and the reasons of participating in both of them.

FROM SUPER(WO)MAN TO A-TEAM

Strengths with regards to FAIR Data and Services• Level of coordination and formal and informal

interaction between relevant stakeholders (‘triangle’); digital infrastructure actors close together

• Professional attitude at universities, including several examples of organizing facilities, research & data science / stewardship

• First MSc and BSc at institutions on data stewardship



• Continued leadership on Open Access (Plan S)• A fully functional national node of the EOSC• Change in culture, a.o. by changing

instructions for reviewers

Main goal(s) to be achieved through the GO FAIR Initiative• Inspiration, international alignment, active voice of researchers beyond the individual

genius

The NetherlandsErik Fledderus, chairman of board / director of SURF




Existing in-country GO FAIR activities • On board level: National Platform Open Science (NPOS), including National Research Council, Arts

& (Applied) Sciences (Royal Academy, Associations of Universities, University Hospitals, Universities of Applied Sciences) and the National Digital Infrastructure (SURF). This board is chaired by the Ministery of Education, Culture and Science.

• Appointed by the board: National Coordinator Open Science (prof. Karel Luyben).• NPOS is active in 4+1 themes: 100% Open Access, Reuse of Research Data, Recognizing

Researchers, Encouraging Open Science, and Citizen Science. The themes bring together many individuals from above and other organizations, ranging from researchers, CIO’s, librarians, policy advisors, data stewards, …

• NPOS acts as GFNSCO.• Pré-NPOS activities include e.g. the National Hub on Research Data Management; together with

NPOS they should stimulate e.g. national and local facilitities, services and ‘stewardship’ around FAIR data and software.








The strength with regards to (implementation of) FAIR Data and Services stems from the high degree of coordination between policy makers, funding bodies, service providers, consumers:

• National policies and strategies in place to make data as ”open as possible, as restricted as necessary”

• New directorate (Unit) with mandate to implement the strategy nationally

• RCN’s National Financing Initiative for Research Infrastructure

• A limited number of strong national providers of e-infrastructure


Planned contribution to EOSC goals: • RCN’s National Financing Initiative for Research

Infrastructure coordinates Norwegian participation towards ESFRI Roadmap

• National coordination of implementation of FAIR principles, coordination and collaboration between infrastructures and services, standardization and certification of services

• Supporting the activities in the EOSC Nordic initiative to support the adoption of FAIR standard and certification in the Nordic region.

NorwayMaria Francesca Iozzi and Marte Qvenild




Existing in-country GO FAIR activities • Several active networks related to e.g. marine data, nanofabrication and

biodiversity (see map)• Large communities taking steps towards FAIR strategies, e.g. life science (Elixir),

carbon data (ICOS), solid earth science (EPOS), aerosols/clouds/gases (ACTRIS), social science (CESSDA), linguistics (CLARIN), health (ECRIN, Euro-Bioimaging)






• Main goal(s) to be achieved through the GO FAIR InitiativeMechanisms for FAIR certification and compliance of service/data repositories with metadata standards?



• Strong political commitment and support for Open Access and Open Science

• Mature and networked infrastructures for Open Access• Discussions on National Strategy for research data• Emerging research data community (Forum GDI)• Previous contacts and discussions at government level on the

participation in GO FAIR

• But the Secretary of State was replaced last week….

“Starting from these pillars, Data Life Cycle management, the EOSC framework, and Cloud Computing, this thesis proposes complete solutions for the implementation of relevant LifeWatch Case Studies. They are based on the experience and developments related to different EU projects, including COOPEUS, EGI-Engage LifeWatch Competence Centre, and INDIGO-DataCloud. Going through the different stages of this new approach, integrating different protocols, standards, tools, methods and services oriented to ensure a “FAIR” data, this thesis presents different designs, developments, prototypes, and services in production, confirming Cloud Computing as an adequate technology to support these complex LifeWatch challenges” (F.Aguilar, PhD Thesis, Nov. 2017)

I have implemented a “Data Integrity Test” basedon EML metadata, the standard for environmental and ecology data, which allows to track data “FAIRness” along the different Data Life Cycle stages. (6S)

So we have a Sherpa… and full institutional support
