D1.3 - First Project activity, including Governance report

This deliverable summarises FAIR2Adapt activities and governance during its first reporting period (M1–M12, 2025), reviewing progress across all seven work packages and defining priorities for Year 2. Year 1 built a strong foundation for FAIR implementation across six case studies through targeted capacity building, transforming initial uncertainty into readiness. While FAIR understanding is now in place, communities do not yet clearly see the practical value of FAIR Digital Objects, as technical developments progressed in parallel with onboarding. Year 2 will therefore focus on FAIR in practice, demonstrating concrete benefits through co-design, demonstrators, dashboards, and solution pathways linking stakeholder needs to technical services.
