To expand repositories for research and public data analysis and publication, encouraging open science

It is necessary to implement a federation of research and public data repositories to help share data generated through scientific studies at universities, research institutions or other organisations. The repositories will need to ensure that the data falls in line with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) principles in relation to other repositories in Europe and worldwide. The seeds of this initiative have already been sown in Catalonia: the Dataverse repository promoted by the Consortium of University Services of Catalonia and Barcelona Supercomputing Center. However, it needs to be implemented, adopted and expanded in order to guarantee its accessibility and readability by all groups that wish to use it, thereby promoting open science.
