How can we make FAIR data practices a sustainable part of everyday research?

Join us for FAIR in Action, a national symposium bringing together researchers, support staff, data stewards, FAIR practitioners, and the wider Life Sciences & Health community to explore how FAIR principles can be translated into practical and lasting impact.

The event marks the culmination of the TDCC-LSH FAIR Fellowship programme, where sixteen fellows from universities and university medical centres across the Netherlands have spent the past year tackling real-world FAIR data challenges with the support of expert coaches.

Through keynote presentations, breakout sessions, poster pitches, and panel discussions, participants will share experiences, lessons learned, and practical approaches to implementing FAIR in research.

Whether you are taking your first steps with FAIR or are already advancing FAIR practices within your organisation, this symposium offers an opportunity to exchange knowledge, build connections, and help shape the future of FAIR data stewardship in the Netherlands.

The day concludes with a networking high tea, providing an informal setting to continue discussions and explore future collaborations.

Please note that this is a preliminary announcement.

The programme is currently being developed, and additional information on speakers, breakout sessions, and session topics will be published in the coming weeks. We encourage you to save the date and register early.

Registration is now open via Aanmelder: www.aanmelder.nl/fairinaction
