What does the policy landscape look like in Ireland for research data? FAIRsharing can make it easier to track, update and report with a single click!
The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is pleased to be able to host a hands-on workshop for research administrators, funders, publishers, projects or community groups that have developed policies to help manage research data in their organisations.
The FAIRsharing registry is an incredible resource for anyone working with research data, acting as an aggregator of information about data sources, data infrastructures, metadata standards and vocabularies, as well as data policies. The goal of this workshop is to enhance representation of Irish data policies in the registry by walking participants through the steps needed to document and manage policy records. If you have a publicly available data sharing policy, we strongly encourage you to join the session!
Some of the benefits of creating a policy record in FAIRsharing include:
- Researchers are better able to discover and understand institutional, funder or journal policies
- Policymakers can more easily see how to keep policies up-to-date, and demonstrate responsiveness to the needs of research communities
- Librarians, data stewards and trainers have an easy place to turn for resources informing proper adherence to policies

This webinar is being hosted in support of DRI’s commitment to enhance policy resources in FAIRsharing. Read more about the FAIR-IMPACT grant at https://dri.ie/news/dri-fair-impact-grant-policies/.
