FAIR4FUSION Fair for Fusion - open access for fusion data in Europe

Opening the data up and making them more easily available on a pan-European basis is a key ingredient in exploiting the investments in the research infrastructures made so far. 

The overall objective of this work is to make European funded data more widely available to the fusion community, other science communities, funding bodies, and the public at large in order to maximise the impact of, the data and demonstrate the importance of the work done at relevant sites. 

We aim in this proposal to achieve all of the goals specified in this call by not only providing a reference architecture for such an open data platform, but to both demonstrate and elicit feedback from existing users within the fusion domain, to ensure they are both exposed to the benefits of such an open science approach and that we are able to obtain feedback to provide input into the design.  We will also demonstrate these tools to other communities involved in open data initiatives (such as EOSC partners) to gain insight based on their existing experience.  Tools will be created to support some underpinnings of FAIR and Open data based on policies obtained from existing which can be used both as stand-alone services and as building blocks in a future open data platform.  Where possible, we will make use of existing services and tools, adapting them where necessary to meet the needs of the fusion community.

open, embargoed, restricted or closed, including appropriate licensing), providing a means of discovering the data and understanding its scientific content, providing methods for accessing the data, ensuring data (and metadata) quality and consistency, enabling secure access when required, etc.  The key underpinnings of open data are excellent data management policies and adhering to FAIR principles.  A key input to this work will be the outcomes from the existing EUROfusion Open Data Working Group, some of whose members are also engaged in this project.

While this call primarily deals with opening of experimental data, modelling data is also an important aspect to consider going into the future, as couplings between the model and experimental data represent an important source of new information.  To address this, the consortium will seek to understand how modelling data is managed at the partners and other sites and make recommendations on the best means of making this accessible, where required, so that it can also become accessible through a future platform.


We aim to provide tools, a demonstrator platform and a final architectural blue print supporting open fusion data which does not impact the current successful operations of fusion devices, ensuring that current data production and management processes can continue without intrusion.


To meet these high level objectives, we have identified the following specific topics which are addressed in this proposal:

● Maximise the benefit of open data

● List the necessary policies and restrictions for opening fusion data to these communities

● Define an architectural blueprint for a platform delivering open fusion data, in collaboration with external bodies

● Develop a suite of tools to support open access of fusion data

● Develop an open data demonstrator for use within the fusion community to promote the opportunities and ease of use of such a platform

Kickoff sucesfully organised!

The Fair4fusion kickoff meeting was successfully organized on 09-10 October 2019, in Gothenburg, Sweden with the participation of all partners' organizations.

“Fair for Fusion - open access for fusion data in Europe” is a Horizon2020 project, funded by the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 under grant agreement No 847612. The project started the implementation of its activities on 01st of September 2019 and all tasks are expected to be completed within 2 years. The overall objective of the work is to make European funded data more widely available to the fusion community, other science communities, funding bodies, and the public at large in order to maximise the impact of, the data and demonstrate the importance of the work done at relevant sites.

During the meeting, the team presented the overall project objectives, re-introduced the work scope of the work packages and engaged in technical discussions. The next meeting is schedule to take place in UK, in January 2020.
