Workshop – FAIR-enabling data policy for repositories

When: 10. December 2025, 13:00- 15:00

Where: online

The Transparent and Trusted Repository Attributes Matrix (TTRAM), developed in the European FIDELIS project, highlights policies and standard setting as key functions and activities of repositories. In recent years, policymakers at various levels have sought to ensure that their policies support the creation and reuse of data that is discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). In 2022, the FAIRsFAIR project published a “FAIR-enabling data policy checklist” – a list of topics that data policies should cover in order to comply with FAIR principles. The aim was to enable policy makers to independently assess whether elements of their data policies support FAIR and to provide recommendations on what should be taken into account when updating them.

Although the checklist was originally intended to support the improvement of policies of research organizations and funders, there is potential for its adaptation and use by repositories that seek to promote and implement FAIR principles. The main objective of this event will be to familiarize participants with the checklist and to present how it could be used for repositories. At the same time, the meeting should result in an agreement on how to adapt this FAIR Checklist for the specific case of repositories.

After the workshop, interested parties will have the opportunity to participate in the work on the adapted checklist, and all contributors will be listed as co-authors of the resulting publication.
