The Challenge of the Effective Implementation of FAIR Principles in Biomedical Research

The vision of implementing FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles in health research over the next years includes a vast, open community of health research institutions and researchers fully engaged in enhancing their knowledge-based economy and their research excellence by adopting the FAIR data guiding principles. We envision high-quality health research and routine care data to be shared and reused in a secure, controlled, and legally compliant environment in both human and machine-readable formats. The idea is to accelerate knowledge discovery while reducing biases and enhancing the strength and quality of the scientific evidence raised by the FAIR community members.
