A key challenge for FAIRsFAIR is to ensure that project activities dovetail with those of the EOSC Working Groups and feed into and complement the activities of other projects in the research data and FAIR space. The Synchronisation Force has been set up to maintain a dialogue across the EOSC and FAIR ecosystems so as to maximise collaboration, minimise duplication, and promote adherence to Turning FAIR into Reality, the final report and action plan from the European Commission expert group on FAIR data.
To develop and track overall FAIR uptake over the life of the project, the Synchronisation Force will organise and document the outcomes from three workshops with FAIR stakeholders. These outcomes will in turn inform recommendations to be published in early 2021 as a white paper.
The objective of the workshop was to open the dialogue between Synchronisation Force members and relevant stakeholders and agree on shared priorities.

Ultimately held online between 29 April until 11 June 2020 as a series of eight sessions with EOSC Working Group representatives, partners in INFRAEOSC5 and ESFRI cluster projects, and members of the FAIRsFAIR European Group of FAIR Champions, the second workshop aimed to measure progress towards implementing the recommendations outlined in the Turning FAIR into Reality report.
