The CO-OPERAS IN (Implementation Network) collaboration network, of which OpenEdition is one of the French coordinators alongside Huma-Num, has won the ANR open science call for projects on research practices and open data. Funded to the tune of €100,000 over two years, CO-OPERAS IN aims to organize and supervise the implementation of research data in the humanities and social sciences according to the principles of the GO FAIR initiative (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). This forms part of the development of the European infrastructure OPERAS (Open Scholarly Communication in the European Research Area for Social Sciences and Humanities).Copyright: Giuseppe PorzaniEasy to find,accessible, interoperable and reusable data for research in the humanities andsocial sciences (HSS): this is the challenge that CO-OPERAS IN seeks to riseto, with the aim of federating existing services and platforms for scholarlycommunication and, more broadly, involving the HSS community at theinternational level.Bringingtogether 45 members from 27 European and international research institutionsand organizations, this network will work in close collaboration with the otherGO FAIR international networks involved in the construction of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Various working groups within CO-OPERASIN have been defined as part of the network roadmap validated by GO FAIR.Six strands havebeen foreseen: strategy, definition of FAIR data in the HSS, surveys andmapping, framework of application, future prospects of the FAIR ecosystem,communication and training.The CO-OPERASIN kick-off meetingon 1st July was used to structure theactivities and begin thinking about the definition of data on the basis of theHSS disciplines.The next step isa workshop titled “Defining FAIR in the HSS: Issues, cultures and practicalimplementations” at the Open Science Fair in Porto inSeptember, which will enable HSS communities to define their own roadmap forthe “FAIRification” of their data.Contact: arnaud.gingold[at]openedition.org
