This short online course caters for learners working with Life Science data and provides the necessary know-how to make data FAIR. The course provides concise, didactic FAIR background and signposting to useful resources and literature. Learners will be able to familiarise themselves with basic content and follow links to additional reading and training resources, if they wish to pursue a concept in more depth. The aim here is to give enough overview required for the second part of this course where real data examples are used to demonstrate FAIR in practice and engage in active learning.
