Abstract
FAIR data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable. In this seminar, we will consider the recent policy alignment around FAIR data augmented with the principle that data should be as open as possible, while as closed as necessary. We will also discuss the data ecosystem and the roles and responsibilities of research institutions in supporting the research data lifecycle.
