FAIR Integration for Enhanced Research Data in the EOSC ecosystem and beyond

Projects will contribute to: 1. Improved findability, accessibility, interoperability and re-usability (FAIRness) of research data and digital outputs. 2. Wider uptake of and compliance with FAIR data principles by national/European data providers, repositories and databases. 3. Operationalisation of FAIR digital objects throughout the entire research data lifecycle. 4. Enhanced and mainstreamed technical specifications for FAIR digital objects to enable FAIR-by-design creation.

Proposals must advance interoperability and integration of research data within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) in alignment with Common European Data Spaces and cross-sector collaboration. They must: 1. Provide a conceptual and implementation framework for scalable, cross-disciplinary FAIR digital objects. 2. Cover all of: FAIR-by-Design digital object creation; automated standardisation and data quality assessment; operational data services specification (including AI-enabled automation); open-standards development/upkeep/adoption with training and dissemination; harmonisation with other Common European Data Spaces; interoperability demonstration and content integration; cross-sector data reuse. 3. Develop activities in accordance with EOSC standards and guidelines, promoting data quality and open-access practices. 4. Cooperate with the EOSC Partnership and coordinate with specified EOSC-related projects. 5. Build on the FAIR-IMPACT and FAIRCORE 4 EOSC projects to mainstream FAIR-by-Design digital objects.
