Abstract

The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) guiding principles for research data management have been established to advance data-driven science and are by now widely adopted among journals, funders and institutions. In order to comply with the FAIR principles, researchers must ensure that data are correctly documented and stored throughout the lifetime of a project. However, dealing with the everincreasing amount and complexity of data and information generated in research labs requires new data management skills that researchers need to acquire at the beginning of their career. To this end, the commitment of the academic institutions and funding agencies is of critical importance so that scientists can be provided with tools, education and support for data management. Here we present the ongoing efforts in this area at ETH Zurich, where the Scientific IT Services and the ETH Library support scientists with tools and services in data management. Similar efforts at the national level, with initiatives funded by swissuniversities, are also presented.
