ENVRI-FAIR - Interoperable Environmental FAIR Data and Services for Society, Innovation and Research

ENVRI-FAIR is a recently launched project of the European Union's Horizon 2020 program (EU H2020), connecting the cluster of European Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRI) to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The overarching goal of ENVRI-FAIR is that all participating research infrastructures (RIs) will provide a set of interoperable FAIR data services that enhance the efficiency and productivity of researchers, support innovation, enable data-and knowledge-based decisions and connect the ENVRI cluster to the EOSC. This goal will be reached by: (1) defining community policies and standards across all stages of the data life cycle, aligned with the wider European policies and with international developments; (2) creating for all participating RIs sustainable, transparent and auditable data services for each stage of the data life cycle, following the FAIR principles; (3) implementing prototypes for testing pre-production services at each RI, leading to a catalogue of prepared services; (4) exposing the complete set of thematic data services and tools of the ENVRI cluster to the EOSC catalogue of services.
