The main goal of the project is to coordinate a network of competence centres at the national, regional, and thematic levels for the development of skills necessary to practice open science, apply FAIR principles in research results management, and participate in the European Open Science Cloud. The consortium includes 44 institutions in 18 countries, among beneficiaries and third parties. The project proposal marks the first initiative where 10 Italian institutions participate, representing the national effort in this endeavor.
