OSCARS is another brick towards making science more open and FAIR. It contributes to optimising the efforts of researchers worldwide by promoting FAIR data practices, ensuring research data can be reused over time and across scientific disciplines, through the deployment of virtual hubs, software and services for data catalogue and data analysis.
Through OSCARS we expect to involve the wider scientific community and to steer a cultural change for Open Science and Open Research to become the new standards.
