Presented at the FAIR Data in Practice Symposium, 16 may 2023 at BioITWorld Boston. https://www.bio-itworldexpo.com/fair-data. The ELIXIR European research Infrastructure for life science data is an inter-governmental organizations coordinating, integrating and sustaining FAIR data and software resources across its 23 nations. To help advise users, data stewards, project managers and service providers, ELIXIR has developed complementary community-driven, open knowledge resources for guiding FAIR Research Data Management (RDMkit) and providing FAIRification recipes (FAIRCookbook). 150+ people have contributed content so far, including representatives of the pharmaceutical industry.

Practical Know-How
So much FAIR know-how and so many services and resources.
Essential to have toolkits and cookbooks to navigate and for
context, understanding and tactics.
Living resources with content, governance and management
by the community for the community.
Open. You are welcome to use and join.
