Vision

Fostering the coherent development of the global Internet of FAIR Data & Services (IFDS), with the main focus on early developments in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

Mission

The GO FAIR Initiative will contribute to and coordinate the coherent development of the Internet of FAIR Data & Services through community-led initiatives in different activity streams:

  1. Support for the creation and running of GO FAIR Implementation Networks (IN)
  2. Ensure optimal coordination between existing initiatives that target the development and implementation of components of the Internet of FAIR Data & Services.
  3. Advocate for and support choices compliant with the FAIR guiding principles.
  4. Focus on early developments in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) with a global perspective.

Strategy

GO FAIR follows a bottom-up open implementation strategy for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as part of a broader global Internet of FAIR Data & Services (IFDS). The approach is largely based on the EOSC communication and the recommendations of the Commission High Level Expert Group on the EOSC.
