FAIRsharing
Link
Registry of repositories, metadata standard and policies. Originally started in the life sciences fields, and still heavily heavily skewed to that domain, but has expanded to include others too.
European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)
Link
A catalogue of federated data, services and software across Europe (and beyond) facilitating open science and FAIR best practices.
Zenodo
Link
One of the most widely used catch-all generalist
repositories.
Amnesia
Link
A free data anonymisation tool that can be used both through an online and desktop standalone versions.
Argos Community Calls
Link
The Argos Community Calls take place every last Wednesday of the month at
14.00 CEST. They last an hour and provide an opportunity to answer
any questions on writing and publishing FAIR DMP outputs and using Argos
(Templates, APIs configuration,
Guidelines, Integrations).
Explore the web page to find meeting notes and recordings.

Data file formats for preservation
When preparing a Data Management Plan for Horizon Europe project, researchers are required to provide information about types and formats of data the project will generate or re-use (1. Data Summary) and metadata vocabularies, standards, formats or
methodologies that will be followed to "make data interoperable to
allow data exchange and re-use within and across disciplines" (2.3. Making data interoperable). In the context of preservation, file formats should respect the authenticity and integrity of the data, while ensuring long-term access and preservation.
Although there are no absolute criteria for choosing file formats,
there are some general criteria and best practice that can be followed,
e.g. using open (conforming to publicly available specifications,
making it possible to decode the format) and preferably non-proprietary
formats, that can also be be used on different platforms.
Here, we are offering a selection of documents that present best practice and provide information about recommended file formats. Feel free to share any thoughts and resources you are using in the Forum.

How to be FAIR with your data
Link
Aims to support higher education institutions with the practical
implementation of content relating to the FAIR principles in their
curricula, while also aiding teaching by providing practical resources,
such as competence profiles, learning outcomes, lesson plans, and
supporting information.
