On November 22, 2021, the FAIRagro co-spokespersons met virtually to discuss the next steps regarding the expert review. The evaluation by an international expert panel will take place on January 17, 2022.
We were informed today by DFG that the review of the FAIRagro application will take place on January 17, 2022.
In November 2021, Frank Ewert has presented the recent developments and objectives of the FAIRagro consortium to the German Agricultural Research Alliance (DAFA).
We submitted the FAIRagro proposal to the DFG on November 2, 2021. Now we have to keep our fingers crossed and wait and see.
At the annual meeting of the Gesellschaft für Pflanzenbauwissenschaften (GPW) in Rostock, Carsten Hoffmann (ZALF) presented the consortium and our ambitions to the community. The slides of the presentation are available at the following link: DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5584803.
Members of FAIRagro and NFDI4Earth today coordinated among themselves on future collaborations. Opportunities for collaboration in the areas of teaching, data stewards, and networking of data infrastructures were identified.
The call for new use cases is now open and will close on June 15, 2021. We invite researchers and stakeholders from agrosystems research to contribute use cases that articulate current challenges to research data in their field. Use cases will be selected in a selection process in preparation for the application and will be funded at the outset of FAIRagro. Further calls for use cases are planned for the duration of the project.
Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Frank Ewert
