FAIR Data Management Principles for Open Science Luiz Olavo Bonino, University of Twente & Leiden University Medical Centre

Open Science aims to make scientific knowledge (data, methods, publications) openly accessible, reusable, and transparent—not just to the scientific community but to society at large. In this presentation, Luiz Bonino examines how the FAIR principles provide a practical framework for fostering open science. By situating FAIR within the broader agenda of open science, he argues we can improve research efficiency, collaboration, rigor, and reproducibility—while aligning with emerging policy expectations.
