ENVRI-FAIR

ENVRI-FAIR is the connection of the Cluster of Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRI) to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

The overarching goal is that at the end of the proposed project, all participating Research Infrastructures (RI) have built a set of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data services which enhances the efficiency and productivity of researchers, supports innovation, enables data- and knowledge-based decisions and connects the ENVRI Cluster to the EOSC.

This goal is reached by:

1. well defined community policies and standards on all steps of the data life cycle, aligned with the wider European policies, as well as with international developments;
2. each participating RI will have sustainable, transparent and auditable data services, for each step of data life cycle, compliant to the FAIR principles;
3. the focus of the proposed work is put on the implementation of prototypes for testing pre-production services at each RI; the catalogue of prepared services is defined for each RI independently, depending on the maturity of the involved RIs;
4. the complete set of thematic data services and tools provided by the ENVRI cluster is exposed under the EOSC catalogue of services via EOSC-hub.
