A key challenge for FAIRsFAIR is to ensure project activities dovetail with work carried out by the EOSC Governance Working Groups, and feed into and complement work being done by other projects in the research data and FAIR space. FAIRsFAIR is looking in particular at four strategic assets: DATA PRACTICES In collaboration with established experts, FAIRsFAIR will document and further develop data practice and repository design to dramatically enhance data interoperability across scientific

A first set of Recommendations has already been released specifically on FAIR Semantics (D2.2 - https://zenodo.org/record/3707985#.XrQTqKgzaM8) and for Persistence and Interoperability (D2.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3557381#.XrQULKgzaM8) together with reports on FAIR Data Practice Analysis (D3.2 - https://zenodo.org/record/3581353#.XrQUeagzaM8) and the Features of FAIR Data Repositories (D2.3 - https://zenodo.org/record/3631528#.XrQU3qgzaM8). DATA POLICY Based on a thorough review of the current policy landscape, FAIRsFAIR will make concrete recommendations to enhance FAIR policy and embed FAIR culture in institutes of higher learning. In this regard, a FAIR Policy Landscape Analysis report has been published (D3.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3558173#.XrQWB6gzaM8), followed by Recommendations for Policy Enhancements (D3.3 - https://zenodo.org/record/3686901#.XrQWWqgzaM8). A report on FAIR in European Higher Education (D7.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3629683#.XrQWvagzaM8) has also been released. FAIR COMPETENCE CENTRE FAIRsFAIR will establish an educational programme to equip researchers, trainers and institutes of higher learning across Europe with the information and skills required to produce and curate FAIR data. In this regard, an Overview of Needs for Competence Centres (D6.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3549791#.XrQXSqgzaM8) and a preliminary definition of the FAIRsFAIR Core Competence Centre (D6.2 - https://zenodo.org/r [...]
