Synchronisation Force workshop series - 2024 edition - Session 1: Metrics and assessing FAIRness

The session was designed to assess the current status of the actively developing landscape on these points, and to critically discuss and reflect on the next steps that should be taken in the community. Over 40 participants joined the session and contributed to a lively discussion, representing different perspectives from various European projects and initiatives, scientific disciplines, and areas of expertise. This showed that FAIR metrics and assessment continue to be an important element of the scientific landscape to discuss and advance. This is also demonstrated in new projects that have started and now joined the Synchronisation Force workshops, for example OS Trails, focused on advancing research assessment specifically.
