Webinar: GARDIAN FAIR Application & Guidelines

Date: Tuesday, 25 June 2019, 3:00PM Central European Time

Duration: 60 min

Summary: The webinar provided an introduction to the FAIR principles and their impact on Open Science and more broadly, the distribution and preservation of knowledge. Furthermore, were exhibited the technologies incorporated in GARDIAN that allow the quantification of conformance to the FAIR principles and thus promote awareness and facilitate self-assessment of data quality with respect to FAIRness. The webinar concluded with the presentation of a practical step-by-step guide for making publications and datasets more FAIR.
