Our team will be taking their summer holidays over the next few weeks. More details at blog.fairsharing.org?p=1156

Calling all #researchlibraries - my colleagues and I are mapping the #FAIR support across #Europe If you can spare 15 min please fill out and share our survey vuamsterdam.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Our services have unexpectedly gone offline ahead of the scheduled maintenance next week, perhaps as a result of the current heatwave. Our IT team is investigating.

On the 13th and 14th of July there will be electrical work in our data centre and the FAIRsharing service will most likely be offline. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

We're planning to upgrade our website this afternoon and there may be some disruption. Apologies for any inconvenience.

How can we build a more connected @elixir-europe.org AI ecosystem for life sciences? A workshop led by one of our #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions, #GavinFarrell, brought together 60+ participants to identify priorities & actionable recommendations for ELIXIR. doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #OpenScience #AI

Thanks to everyone running #Biocuration2026! Looking forward to co-running tomorrow's workshop w/ Lyndon, one of our #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions; it's on curating standards, databases & policies in @fairsharing.bsky.social from the African region www.bioinformaticsinstitute.africa/events/tab/6...

Some power cuts have affected the science area in Oxford from approx. 5am this morning and this has had a knock-on effect on our network. Our IT team are attempting to restore connectivity as soon as possible.

🎥 Our Annual FAIRsharing Webinar for 2026 is now available! doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Learn how our community-curated registry of standards, databases and policies has grown in scope, connectivity and reuse; also, how we support data management, FAIR assessment, policy implementation & more.

After 10:00 local time we plan to take fairsharing.org offline for a short time for a hardware upgrade. Currently, there is also some network disruption due to cooling fault in our server room. We hope that the disruption will be kept to a minimum.

Happy Holidays from FAIRsharing! We'd like to celebrate the 2025 efforts of our maintainers and #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions, welcome our newest Champions and say "until we see you again" to recent alumni. Find out more on them, our 2025 work and our holiday closure at blog.fairsharing.org?p=1086

From the end of today most of our staff will be on holiday and the department closed. Support will be on a best-effort basis until early January. We wish you all a great holiday, and will see you in 2026!

Our FAIRsharing application server has stopped responding and we're currently investigating this; the site will be unavailable until this is fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.

The whole team at #FAIRsharing would like to thank David Tomkins🥇who joined our #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions in 2023 and for a recent short-term contract. Find out more about David's time with us: blog.fairsharing.org?p=1057 🥳 Take a look at just 1 of the 1000s of edits he performed! ⬇️

Summer holidays are here, and we'll be operating at a reduced capacity from 4 August – 1 September, with significantly reduced capacity from 18-25 August. During this period all support will be on a "best effort" basis. Blog post: blog.fairsharing.org?p=1062 We wish you all an enjoyable summer!

🥳 Please join me in celebrating the 3rd birthday of the #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions Programme! Did you know that over the past 3 years our Champions have made nearly 10,000 edits, created over 200 records and updated nearly 1500 records!? They're all amazing! More at blog.fairsharing.org?p=1020

Unfortunately, some maintenance in our server room has turned out to be more problematic than anticipated. The IT dept. will return to work about 12 hours from now and we hope they will resolve the situation as soon as possible. We apologise for any nuisance caused by this outage.

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please note that power has gone off to part of the network at @ox.ac.uk due to overheating. @fairsharing.bsky.social is currently unavailable as a result. IT is working on it and we will let you know when it is back up and running. Perhaps a short cat nap is in order.
