The EUA-FAIRsFAIR survey on research data management

The European University Association (EUA) has launched a survey on research data management and FAIR data principles. The consultation, conducted in the context of the FAIRsFAIR project and vigorously supported by EOSC-Pillar, is aimed at gathering a comprehensive overview of policies, practices and training activities in these topics at higher education institutions across Europe.

Research data management and the FAIR data principles are crucial in the transition to Open Science. Therefore, institutions involved in the EOSC-Pillar project are actively encouraged to take part in the survey and provide their meaningful insights on these issues. 

The survey will address the following dimensions of research data management and FAIR principles at higher education institutions:

• the state and nature of institutional policies and support services for research data management;
• the awareness of the FAIR principles for research data within universities;
• the teaching of research data competences to students and researchers;
• the level of awareness of and views on the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

Take the survey now, the deadline is 15 November 2019.

The survey should be filled out by university leadership or management staff responsible for the development and implementation of research data management policies and plans. Please note that only one response per institution should be submitted.
