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

We hope that you had a pleasant summer break, and were able to recharge your energy.<\/p>\r\n

While everything tends to slow down during the summer months we are still happy to share with you that the US GO FAIR office was awarded a grant to fund the next annual GO FAIR event<\/a>. Stay tuned!
Also worth mentioning is that in July 2021 the science ministers of the G7 countries met and discussed, among other things, strengthening international research cooperation. As a result the G7 Research Compact<\/a> was adopted, which emphasizes further promotion of open science efforts. The G7 nations commit to work together to \u201cexplore incentives, including enhancements to research assessment that foster recognition and reward collaboration across all disciplines and topics to drive a culture of rapid sharing of knowledge, data, software, code and other research resources\u201d, and to \u201cinvestigate how open science practices help achieve increasingly robust, reliable and impactful research outcomes\u201d.
In this context we would like to draw your attention to the initiatives of our partners under Data Together<\/a>, CODATA and RDA, who both aim to contribute to an increased collaboration, alignment and interoperability of the regional open science infrastructures by activities under the CODATA\u2019s Global Open Science Cloud<\/a> (GOSC) and RDA\u2019s Global Open Research Commons<\/a> (GORC). At the end of June, CODATA held a virtual event to introduce the GOSC initiative<\/a> and to invite participation in the initial GOSC Working Groups and Case Studies.<\/p>\r\n

Fall is just around the corner, and surely your calendar will quickly fill up again. Therefore, we would like to highlight two upcoming Data Stewardship Competence Centers IN activities: On 4-5 October 2021 the National Chapters Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and US will gather<\/a> to share their knowledge and plan joint activities. Following this workshop, the German chapter \u201cGO UNITE!\u201d will meet<\/a> on 29 October to discuss and collaborate on topics revolving around training in research data management. In addition, the FAIR Digital Object Forum<\/a> – our newest GO FAIR Implementation Network – is organizing its first Community Meeting<\/a> that will take place on 15-16 October 2021 and will be the first gathering to disseminate the steps of FDO until now and engage the community of interested experts in the discussions.<\/p>\r\n

With this in mind, we are looking forward to continuing to work together with you in the next season and advancing FAIRification in research data management.<\/p>\r\n

All the best,
Laurent Crouzet, Barend Mons & Klaus Tochtermann
Strategic Directors, GO FAIR Initiative<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Did you know\u2026 GO Read<\/h2>\r\n

In this section you will learn about Implementation Networks<\/a> that have recently acquired \u201cactive\u201d status, recent IN activities and opportunities. This way, we ensure that you always stay on top of things happening in the \u201cGO FAIR\u201d family.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

New active Implementation Networks<\/h3>\r\n

FAIR Digital Objects (FDO) Forum IN<\/strong>
The FDO Forum IN<\/a> is a group of international experts from relevant research institutions and infrastructure initiatives committed to specify FAIR Digital Objects (FDO) and its components and to foster the implementation of an infrastructure ready to support FDO practically.<\/strong> The FDO Forum will actively work together with working groups from other initiatives such as RDA, OAI, W3C, ISO, and IETF to achieve these goals. As the name already indicates, the FAIR principles are the starting point of the IN\u2019s considerations. They will look for a variety of implementation models that meet the FDO requirements. IN Coordinators are Christine Kirkpatrick, Dimitris Koureas, George Strawn and Peter Wittenburg.<\/p>\r\n
