The Centre for Digital Life Norway encourages open science and FAIR data management. For the fourth time, we are highlighting and rewarding outstanding examples of life science researchers in Norway who have managed their data according to the FAIR principles. The deadline for nominating candidates is March 31st, 2025.
Highlighting leading examples of FAIR data management in 2024
In order to highlight leading examples of FAIR data management in Norwegian life science research, DLN is for the fourth time conferring the DLN FAIR data award. Eligible data sets are those created by researchers based in Norway and focused on life science research. The research does not have to be affiliated with the Centre for Digital Life. The data can, but do not have to, be associated with a scientific publication.
A prize for the best FAIR data in 2024
From the nominees, DLN will select the best FAIR data in Norwegian life science of 2024, to be awarded a prize of 10.000 NOK and will be highlighted through our network. The money will be transferred to the associated project(s) and can be spent within the frames set by governmental regulations.
Ambition on behalf of the data will be an important criterium
As the state of the art of FAIR data varies across domains and techniques, it will be considered how ambitious the data management is within the related research domain.
