Establishing Open & FAIR Research Data: Initiatives and Coordination 

Free Multi-stakeholder Webinar: Initiatives and coordination in establishing open &amp; FAIR research dataMultis
 
This webinar presents speakers from many different backgrounds and wide variety of stakeholder groups: research funders, policymakers, data archives, publishers. They share the same goal: making research data more FAIR. Join the webinar and hear how we can do so by aligning our efforts.
 
Audience: Universities, libraries, policy makers, funders, researchers and publishers that are working on or are interested in promoting Open and FAIR data.
  
Regardless of the field of study and discipline, sharing data is one of the most fundamental aspects of maintaining the integrity of research. The availability of research data plays a vital role in ensuring reproducibility and the ongoing development of Open Science.
There is an increasing need to ensure the availability, discoverability and re-usability of research data for all involved stakeholders working across the scholarly ecosystem. As has been frequently observed, embracing open science requires a culture change in the entire researcher workflow. It requires rethinking the way in which research is undertaken, shared, published, evaluated, rewarded and curated, which requires a coordinated effort by all participants in the ecosystem.
In this webinar, various stakeholders will give an update on their efforts in making research data more open and FAIR. This will be followed by a discussion on how greater alignment can be established between policy makers, funders, universities, publishers and others.
Moderator: Dr. Joris van Rossum, Research Data Director, STM
