FAIR-IMPACT (June 2022 – May 2025) identifies practices, policies, tools and technical specifications to guide researchers, repository managers, research performing organisations, policy makers and citizen scientists towards a FAIR data management cycle. The focus is on persistent identifiers (PIDs), metadata, ontologies, metrics, certification and interoperability, starting with real-life use cases on social sciences and humanities, the photon and neutron sciences, life sciences and agri-food and environmental sciences.
CODATA contributions are focused on interoperability mechanisms, especially on topics related to organisational and legal interoperability, as well as interoperability within the EOSC ecosystem. In this role, CODATA has contributed to many project outputs, including organising a workshop co-located with the EOSC Winter School 2025.
The project’s final event (FAIRfest) was organised in February 2025 in the Madurodam (The Hague, The Netherlands).

What is EOSC?
The EOSC is a European joint endeavour to create a web of FAIR data and services for science in Europe. It will offer a federated virtual environment where researchers can find, share, process, analyse and reuse FAIR research outputs across borders and scientific disciplines. The EOSC is considered as a key enabler for Open Science. It is also part of the European strategy for data and one of the Common European Data Spaces that are intended to unleash the potential of data-driven innovation and make more data available in different thematic fields.
