Project description

Transforming data management to foster adoption of FAIR principles

Reusable data — knowledge — translates into data integration for large research schemes, dynamic interdisciplinary research and, ultimately, scientific discoveries. For this to happen, guidance and tools are needed to make data increasingly FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). FAIRplus, an EU-funded project, aims to improve the FAIR levels of IMI and EFPIA data, change and sustain the data management culture and foster an innovation ecosystem. FAIR principles will power future reuse of data, knowledge generation and societal benefit.

Objective

Wide sharing of knowledge and data drives the progression of science. Shared data allows other researchers to reproduce findings and benchmark quality of experiments. Sharing data so that other researchers can Find, Access and Interoperate – i.e. integrate the data with the outcomes of their own experiments - allows Reuse and an opportunity to build the large aggregated cohorts we need to detect rare signals and manage the many confounding factors in translational research. This project will develop the guidelines and tools needed to make data FAIR. Through worked examples using IMI and EFPIA data and application and extension of existing methods we will improve the level of discovery, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of selected IMI and EFPIA data. In addition, through disseminated guidelines and tailored training for data handlers in academia, SMEs and pharmaceuticals, data management culture will change and be sustained and datasets will be reused by pharmaceutical companies, academia and SMEs. Our FAIR SME & Innovation programme will enable wide data reuse and foster an innovation ecosystem around these data that power future re-use, knowledge generation, and societal benefit. We call this approach ‘FAIRplus’.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
