In 2022, the Open Science Community-Wageningen (OCS-W) was created. OCS-W is a learning community where anyone associated with WUR or NIOO-KNAW can learn and talk about open science practices. The creation of the OSC-W will be celebrated with a launch event, packed with interesting talks and discussions. This event will…
It is inescapable: in science there is an increasing focus on sharing research data, software and code. The often-used slogan for data sharing by research institutions and funders is “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”. Wageningen University and Research is no exception and has included this principle in…

Communicating with each other requires using the same language, if necessary, with hands and feet. Key element in Interoperability (the I in FAIR) is understanding each other’s data. From data to person and from data to machine. Therefore, to increase interoperability it is indispensable to add context and shared vocabulary…
Like society, science is under the spell of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the end of 2019 the virus was still unknown ground, however since the beginning of 2020 research on the behaviour of the virus, treatment for COVID-19 and the development of a vaccine has increased enormously. We observe a…
Within Wageningen University & Research FAIR is the main underlying value of the data policy. FAIR is a suitable and pleasant acronym, which stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-Usable. I can easily argue that everyone wants to be fair. WUR Rector prof. Arthur Mol declared in an opening speech…
How is it ensured that large datasets are properly stored? How do we come to uniformity? Who monitors our data? Data is called the new gold. We want to take good care of something valuable. Bart Nijsse is the guardian of the data of the Laboratory of Systems and Synthetic…
