First six members named for GO FAIR Steering Committee

The GO FAIR Steering Committee has been established: France, Germany and the 
Netherlands delegate their first Steering Committee Members who will provide 
strategic guidance to the initiative.

Leiden/ Hamburg/ Paris, October 29, 2018: The first Steering Committee Members 
of the GO FAIR initiative have been announced. The Netherlands, Germany and 
France - the founding member states of the initiative - will each be 
represented in the Committee by two experts: one from the ministerial level, 
one from the research community. Aart Jan Bette and Prof Dr Rianne Letschert 
will represent the Netherlands, Dr Hans-Josef Linkens and Prof Dr Heike Neuroth 
will represent Germany, and Marin Dacos and Prof Dr Jean-Pierre Vilotte will 
represent France.

The GO FAIR Steering Committee will provide high-level guidance to the GO FAIR 
initiative and take strategic decisions based on national coordination and 
needs.

Prof Klaus Tochtermann, Strategic Director of the GO FAIR initiative and 
Director of the ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, emphasized: "We 
are excited to have such highly experienced members on board of the Steering 
Committee. They will be a great asset for the strategic development of the GO 
FAIR initiative."

Initially, the Committee will consist of six members - two from each 
participating country - and will be expanded as further member states join the 
initiative. Prof Barend Mons, Strategic Director of GO FAIR, will initially 
serve as the Secretary of the Steering Committee.

Members of the GO FAIR Steering Committee were present at the GO FAIR country 
meeting on October 26, 2018 that aimed at strengthening the GO FAIR approach on 
country level in Europe. The country meeting was a huge success: 34 country 
representatives participated with a total number of 18 countries being 
represented. The European Commission was also represented: Jean-Claude 
Burgelman attended the meeting and gave an update on the development of the 
European Open Science Cloud. The participating countries showed great interest 
in becoming part of the GO FAIR initiative and building on the on-going 
momentum within the GO FAIR ecosytems.

Background information:
The GO FAIR initiative is a bottom-up international approach for the practical 
implementation of the European Open Science Cloud as part of a global Internet 
of FAIR Data & Services. The initiative aims at avoiding silo formation, undue 
competition and fragmentation by fostering concerted "FAIRification" efforts by 
its participants. 
France, Germany and the Netherlands have established an internationally 
operating office at three sites - Paris, Hamburg and Leiden - to support the 
implementation and further development of the GO FAIR initiative. Strategic 
Directors are Prof Patrick Garda (France), Prof Klaus Tochtermann (Germany) and 
Prof Barend Mons (The Netherlands). 
The initiative is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and 
Science, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the 
French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).
