[CODATA-international] Open Community Session: contribute to the FAIR data expert group - 26th July, 2017

[Asha CODATA]

The European Commission’s FAIR data expert group
<http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regexpert/index.cfm?do=groupDetail.groupDetail&groupID=3464>
is hosting its second open community session
<https://github.com/FAIR-Data-EG/consultation/blob/master/community-sessions.md>
on Wednesday 26th July from 10:00-12:00 CEST. You may already have
seen the call
for contributions
<https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/pdf/fair_eg.pdf> and the public
GitHub <https://github.com/FAIR-Data-EG/consultation>. The aim of these
open community sessions is to provide a forum where you can discuss ideas
directly with Expert Group members and each other.

We’re particularly keen to hear from all those stakeholders who play a role
in facilitating FAIR data, specifically Research Infrastructures and
e-Infrastructures, ESFRIs, domain data centres, learned societies,
universities, funders, publishers and policymakers. Our remit is to make
recommendations on turning FAIR data into reality, so we want to understand
your existing commitments, activities, plans and concerns regarding future
work in this area.

If you would like to join the discussion, please register at
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/74701203796494338 and join the
webinar on the day. The event is designed as a consultation: there will be
a short introduction to the group and our objectives, but there’s not a
formal presentation and strict agenda. This session will be driven by you
and your contributions, so drop in at any time during the two hour window
and take the opportunity to share your ideas. You can also leave whenever
you like – this is going to be freeform.

Please take a look through the call for contributions
<https://github.com/FAIR-Data-EG/consultation#what-to-contribute> and
the GitHub
comments <https://github.com/FAIR-Data-EG/consultation/issues>in advance of
the call. Then just sign on in, post your own suggestions, questions or
comments, or otherwise help us to power up the wisdom of the crowd!
