FAIR Data Austria – Paving the Way for Enhanced Research Data Management and Collaboration

Abstract

In an age dominated by digital information, the importance of accessible and well-managed research data cannot be overstated. The FAIR Data Austria project is at the forefront of pioneering initiatives that cultivate a culture of data sharing and collaboration, adhering to the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR). The project addresses the challenges associated with implementing FAIR principles – from technical complexity to cultural barriers – and takes a multi-faceted approach that includes capacity building initiatives, community engagement and the development of tools and infrastructure to facilitate FAIR research practices.
