Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science
Funds work that makes research data genuinely usable by others — portals, data commons, and lower barriers to sharing across disciplines.
FAIROS funds the machinery of open science. The name is the standard it works to: research data that is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.
Four kinds of activity are named without limiting the programme. Research, education and socio-technical cyberinfrastructure that advances sustainable multi-disciplinary research data management and open science. Piloting new models of scientifi…
Open science and research data management infrastructure — sustainable multi-disciplinary FAIR data capabilities, new models of scientific communication and publication, data portals and research data commons, and lowering barriers to accessing, curating, linking, sharing and storing research data, software and code.
