FAIR-IMPACT Workshop, example of two national initiatives: The Netherlands and Greece

The FAIR Implementation workshop “Examples of national initiatives for FAIR: Greece and the Netherlands”, part of the second running of the FAIR-IMPACT support programme for National Level Initiatives, was delivered on 29 November 2024. Two keynote speakers, Marta Teperek - Programme Leader for FAIR Data Open Science NL organisation and Fotis Mystakopoulos - Project Policy Officer - OPERAS RI, presented how Greece and the Netherlands are advancing FAIR principles at the national level. The Netherlands approach supports FAIR implementation through policy development, infrastructure funding, and national training programs, all states in the Dutch national Open Science programme. Greece to guide FAIR adoption developed the National Plan for Open Science and is focusing on strengthening research infrastructures, fostering training programs, and engaging in European collaborations like EOSC and Skills4EOSC.
