Open Science and FAIR data are being implemented all around the world in the research area. The EOSC Secretariat International Technology and Policy Observatory prepared a report this summer on some of the major trends and activities happening globally. That report can be found here. 

The five main international trends observed were:

• Worldwide research and standards organisations are driving convergence
• Regional Open Science Initiatives are getting more aligned and coordinated 
• FAIR Funders are teaming up to drive FAIR behavior
• FAIR Digital Objects are driving worldwide interoperability
• FAIR Data Stewards are likely to change the world of research 

This month EOSCsecretariat.eu has prepared more helpful resources to continue exploring Open Science and FAIR Data on a global level: 

Webinar

On 24 November EOSCsecretariat.eu will host a webinar with four of the research and standards organisations which are driving convergence: CODATA, GO FAIR, RDA, and WDS! Details and registration can be found here.
