FAIR training landscape

FAIR Training with certification

The GO FAIR Foundation  to provide a form of FAIR data training with certification. It uses nanopublications to “qualify” trainees. It offers two programs:

  • GFF Fellowship Program: duration 1 year (can be extended), 250 hours of time investment, more interaction time with the trainers, but also more self-organized learning (up to facilitator module for either FAIR Implementation Profiles or Metadata for Machine workshops), part of a Fellowship community and collaborative development activities (€ 2500) See https://osf.io/x43g7

  • GFF Capacity Building Programme: it provides training modules for implementer, facilitator and trainer level, see price list from €1250 (FAIR Awareness) up to €10’000 (Trainer qualification). See:  https://zenodo.org/records/13277614
