FAIR and Open Research Data
Implementation of Open Science in Practice
The project aims to create an integrated open science data management model for Latvia, establishing unified standards, guidelines, access conditions, and security protocols within higher education institutions and science centers, while fostering collaboration and sharing best practices.
Compatibility
Our higher education institutions will be fully compatible with the EOSC initiative with the help of our data repository DataverseLV, ensuring data accessibility and exchange within the European scientific community.
Collaboration
DataverseLV serves as a unified collaboration platform that supports the integration of Latvian science into the international scientific arena and fosters innovation across various research fields.
FAIR
Our data stewards are ensuring that Latvian research data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR principles), promoting data sustainability and availability.
Strenghtening National Data Competencies
Data Stewards Network
One of the projects main focuses is on addressing the growing demand for effective research data management by creating a national network data stewards. These stewards, selected through a competitive process, will support higher education and research institutions by assisting with data management planning, publication, and archiving. The network will foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among stewards from four major universities in Latvia—Riga Stradins University, Riga Technical University, the University of Latvia, and the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies.
Collaboration
The network fosters close collaboration between various scientific institutions in Latvia and Europe to share best practices and promote data exchange, thereby strengthening the integration of Latvian research into the international scientific community.
Collaboration
The data steward network regularly organizes training sessions and workshops to educate researchers and staff of scientific institutions on data management and the core principles of open science.
Support
Data stewards provide consultations and support to researchers to effectively manage and organize their data throughout all phases of research.

European Recovery and Resilience Facility
Projects Funding
The project “Support for Practical Implementation of Open Science and Solutions for Research Data Sharing and Participation in the EU Open Science Cloud” represents a significant advancement in the development and international integration of Latvian research. The project’s goal is to enhance the broader use of data generated by Latvian research institutions, strengthening cooperation with the European scientific community and ensuring that Latvian research data is accessible and usable in accordance with open science principles. The project is being implemented by the Higher Education and Science IT Shared Services Center (VPC) in collaboration with the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Riga Stradiņš University, the University of Latvia, and Riga Technical University.
Within this project, a unified national research data repository system DataverseLV will be developed to enable data exchange and integration with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Additionally, a network of data stewards is being established to provide professional support and training in research data management. These data stewards will help develop and implement the necessary regulations and guidelines for research data management in collaboration with university specialists. The total project funding is EUR 3,575,279.40, co-funded by the European Union Recovery Fund and the Latvian state budget.
