In an increasingly interconnected world, the need for effective cross-border and cross-domain data management is vital to facilitate collaboration, enable data-driven decision-making, and drive innovation. EUDAT’s vision is that “data is shared and preserved across borders and disciplines”. To achieve this vision, EUDAT is enabling data stewardship within and between European research communities through a Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI), which is a common model and service infrastructure for managing data spanning all European research data centers and community data repositories. Through the EUDAT CDI, researchers and practitioners from any research discipline can preserve, find, access, and process data in a trusted environment.

From experience with EUDAT and following the discussions within EOSC, one of the big challenges is the provisioning of services, data and resources across borders and scientific domains. These challenges are mostly not technical but are more related to organisational, legal and/or funding issues.

This session delves into the complexities and opportunities associated with managing data across national borders and diverse domains. It presents different solutions, but also the challenges, by research communities, a large National infrastructure program and internationally, beyond Europe.
 

Session Organisers : Abdulrahman Azab ( Sigma2) and Mark van de Sanden (SURF)


What to expect?

For better understanding of cross-border data management, this session provides participants with insight into how FAIRness can be measured, exploring the various distributed data management solutions, as well as the existing FAIR data repositories and FAIR tools.
