SUMMARY:ELIXIR-UK FAIR Contentathon #3
DESCRIPTION:The ELIXIR-UK RDM Club has been awarded a BioFAIR Pathfinder grant for a project called The FAIR-in-action Bridge. \nIn summary\, many UK research-performing organisations have FAIR data policies.  Many have guidance documents. What’s often missing is the middle layer: the practical\, ready-to-use materials that let RDM professionals in the life sciences turn that guidance into something researchers actually engage with. \nThe FAIR-in-action Bridge is a BioFAIR Pathfinder project\, led by coordinators of the ELIXIR-UK RDM Club\, that sets out to fill this gap. \nThe project will produce two FAIR-in-action playbooks for life science RDM professionals: \n\nHow to approach FAIRification: practical activities and templates for FAIRifying data.\nHow to communicate and advocate FAIR: talking points\, FAIR games and advocacy materials for different audiences\n\nBoth will be roughly 80% ready-to-use\, aggregating open FAIR material in the public domain\, with placeholders (20%) for your local context (eg institutional repositories and guidance). Both will be openly licensed and indexed. And both will be tested through one-day in-person rollouts at six UK RPOs. \nWe’re running three online Contentathons\, and we’d love you to join the ones that fit. This third and final Contentathon is a full day event\, on how to communicate and advocate FAIR. Hands-on\, structured in sections so you can join the bits relevant to you.
