Expression of interest to join the FIDELIS Network

The FIDELIS project is funded by the European Commission to work towards establishing a European Network of FAIR-enabling Trustworthy Digital Repositories.

The Network's mission to support digital repositories in Europe to become and remain trustworthy over time. The definition of TRUST principles are based on :

  • Transparency about specific repository services and that are easily verifiable by publicly accessible evidence.
  • Responsibility in ensuring the integrity of data holdings and its authenticity.
  • User focus so that the data management norms and expectations of user community are served.
  • Sustainability in ensuring services and data holdings are preserved long-term.
  • Technology to provide capabilities for secure, persistent and reliable services.

If you are uncertain whether your organisation has already endorsed the TRUST Principles, explore the list from Research Data Alliance.

By providing your repository details, you agree to embrace the FAIR principles for digital objects and to endorse the TRUST principles for repositories.
