Through the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, the University of La Rioja obtained a grant to develop its own data Repository associated with their institutional CRIS. Dialnet attempts to provide a solution for that purpose and, in addition, to make that extensible to other institutions. Through participation in this support program, Dialnet identified ways in which the data repository could align with the FAIR principles, and ways in which to engage with stakeholders. The FAIR-IMPACT Support Programme for National Initiatives was designed for organisations with a national scope, including those mandated by the EOSC, with the aim of supporting participants to improve their FAIR implementation activities. Between January and September 2024, participants engaged with experts through a series of virtual workshops covering a wide range of topics and providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of what can be achieved at national level for FAIR. In addition, participants were supported by the FAIR-IMPACT team to develop their FAIR implementation plans, benefiting from expert insight and tailored guidance.
