Dear GO FAIR community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the vacation period approaching for many of you, we thought it timely to share updates in relation to the previously announced week on FAIR<\/a> organised 24 – 28 October 2022 in Leiden.
The week features two closely related events: the 2nd FAIR Convergence Symposium (24-26 October) and the 1st International Conference on FAIR Digital Objects<\/a> (26-28 October). The two associated events will explore the contention that the FAIR principles, and their application through FAIR Digital Objects, are important steps to maximise the machine-actionability of data and other information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The co-organisers of the 2nd FAIR Convergence Symposium, CODATA<\/a> and GO FAIR<\/a>, have been discussing the ideal format for the Symposium, in particular considering lessons learned from the International Data Week 2022<\/a> held just last week and that travel (especially overseas) still appears to be problematic for many colleagues. Therefore, the two organisations agreed to concentrate their efforts and fill the first part of that week with smaller strategic and working meetings to drive convergence on FAIR, rather than a large Symposium. Most of the meetings will be organised as hybrid events, allowing for both in-person and online participation.
The meetings planned by GO FAIR include selected wheel meetings introducing and discussing FAIR enabling resources of the GO FAIR INs and also a meeting of the GO FAIR Directors of the National Support Offices. From the CODATA side, the activities of the case studies under the WorldFAIR project, and in particular the outcomes of their FAIR Implementation Profiles workshops, will be featured. It is also the intention of CODATA to bring together the members of the Open Science Cloud Executives Roundtable<\/a> (OSCER) for an in-person meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further information and invitations for the events organised by GO FAIR are forthcoming. We also encourage the INs to engage with the FDOF IN<\/a> developments and join the 1st FDO Conference.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the best,
Christine Kirkpatrick, Director GO FAIR US & Barend Mons, Scientific Director GO FAIR Foundation
