On the occasion of the Thuringian FDM Days 2022, the Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management is sponsoring the third "FAIRest Dataset" Award.

 

We are looking for: the FAIRest dataset in Thuringia

The Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management (TKFDM) awards prize money of up to 2000 Euros to the dataset that best implements the FAIR principles. The FAIR principles were published in 2016 and are intended to help improve the findability and reusability of research data.
