The GO FAIR Brazil Support and Coordination office is hosted by the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology. It is a government institute subordinate to the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication. IBICT has extensive experience in the implementation of infrastructures to support information in science and technology, and in the formulation of policies for supporting Open Science, which is well aligned with the GO FAIR initiative.
GO FAIR Brazil was established at the end of 2018 as one of the first GO FAIR national offices. The Declaration of GO FAIR Brazil was signed at the SciELO 20th anniversary event.
