1. Speaker Contribution: Data Federation, Trustworthiness and Sovereignty

Format: Impulse Statement
Title: Outcomes of a Survey Among Repositories on Their “EOSC Readiness”

Objectives:

• Showcase practical approaches to data federation and data sovereignty through real-world use cases and identify remaining barriers.

2. Speaker Contribution: Automating Data FAIRification

Format: Use Case Presentation
Title: ENVRI EOSC Node

Objectives:

• Provide an overview of the state of the art in the production of FAIR datasets (e.g. by research infrastructures) by either FAIR-by-design technologies or by ex-post FAIRification by algorithms and compute.

• Provide the outlook on how the necessary level of productivity (in the limit of all new data 100% FAIR) can be reached by the two methods, and/or their combination, from the perspectives of technology, economy, transferability of solutions.
