More about the topics 

FAIR data—What does making data available mean? 

FAIR is the umbrella principle in research data management. The strategy of a researcher for complying with FAIR principles is assessed in research grant applications. In addition, the necessity of building up a record of compliance with FAIR principles is foreseeable, especially for young researchers. 

NFR and Horizon Europe require all research data to be FAIR in order to maximize the benefits that academia and other sectors can obtain from research data. As a researcher, it is an obligation to make the data FAIR — findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. This webinar will touch upon the basics of FAIR principles: 

  • Why FAIR? 
  • What is FAIR? 
  • How to make data FAIR? 
  • Who benefits from FAIR data? 

FAIR-ing and sharing qualitative data  

Handling qualitative data comes with a typical set of challenges. Anonymising and sharing involves a lot of planning and work. Then why is it a requirement to make qualitative data FAIR? How should a researcher plan a project with qualitative data? We will listen to insights and experiences from our guest speaker.
