What is FAIRagro?

The FAIRagro consortium with more than 30 partners is building a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) research data management system for the agrosystems research community. We are developing the right tools and workflows to lay the foundations for sustainable crop production – now and in the future.

Question of the month

Pauline is a PhD student on a school of agricultural sciences and wants to know:

How do I find a suitable repository for my research data? What do I need to do to prepare my data for it? And how do I find high-quality datasets from other researchers on my topics?

We have just the thing for you: our interactive workshop, “Kickstart Your Data Publication,” on September 30. And if you have any questions, feel free to contact our help desk. Just use the two buttons below.
