FIDELIS | Gdańsk University of Technology

Establishing A European Network of Trustworthy Digital Repositories

• Programme: Horizon Europe
• Call for proposal: Enabling an operational, open and FAIR EOSC ecosystem (2024) (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01)
• ID: HORIZON-INFRA-2024-EOSC-01-03
• Topic: Enabling a network of EOSC federated and trustworthy repositories and enhancing the framework of generic and discipline specific services for data and other research digital objects
• Duration: 01.01.2025 - 31.12.2027

The FIDELIS project aims to establish a healthy, vibrant and self-sustaining network of trustworthy digital repositories (TDRs) that will foster a supportive, open science environment and guarantee FAIR data sharing. This aligns with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), aiming to develop a web of FAIR data and services for science in Europe.

Within its three-year lifetime, FIDELIS will set up, develop, and operate a European network of trustworthy repositories that will support the development and growth of TDRs within the EOSC ecosystem; foster harmonisation and interoperability across repositories to enable an EOSC federation of TDRs; and strengthen the upskilling of repositories and expansion of the network through an active training and support programme.

The team from the Gdańsk University of Technology, as one of the project partners, will be responsible for, among other things, identifying the needs of research data repositories in Europe and developing and implementing an effective training and mentoring system for them.
