Description
In 2022, the General Assembly of the Helmholtz Association adopted the Helmholtz Open Science Policy, thus creating a framework to accompany the cultural shift towards open scientific practices. The Helmholtz Open Science Office supports this process, which includes developments in the field of open research data and research software.
In the context of research data management (RDM), the FAIR principles provide a guiding framework for increasing the benefits and impact of research data while supporting the implementation of open science practices. By embedding practical strategies, the integration of Open Science into data management strategies not only enhances the quality, integrity and impact of research but also fosters collaboration, transparency, and innovation within the scientific community and beyond. This broader framework includes providing the necessary open infrastructures within a federated research infrastructure that is aligned with UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science and initiatives such as the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) and the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information.
In the presentation, we will introduce current developments to RDM and Open Science and outline ongoing initiatives at Helmholtz to implement them.
