An ad hoc planning committee will organize and conduct a half-day public workshop featuring invited presentations and discussions on new approaches that research funders, research institutions, researchers, scientific societies, and other stakeholders are taking to facilitate and encourage sharing of FAIR (findable-accessible-interoperable-reusable) research data within and across disciplines. The discussions will explore new initiatives to support FAIR data sharing, the need for innovative approaches, potential obstacles to success and how obstacles might be overcome. The participants will include representatives from relevant communities, including researchers, institutions, government agency representatives, private funders, and societies. A Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
