Abstract

Developing safe and sustainable nanomaterials-based solutions to current global challenges including clean energy, sustainable food production and water security requires access to high quality data and appropriate analysis and modelling approaches. Achieving these challenges requires increased re-use of research data to accelerate progress and support development of new materials that are safe and sustainable for energy capture and storage, nano-agriculture and environmental remediation. The principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) provide a roadmap to enhanced data sharing and re-use, but require consensus within the nanosafety community on metadata, ontologies and persistent identifiers (among other things) and guidance to support implementation and achieve machine-readability. Here, we highlight the main focus of the AdvancedNano GO FAIR Implementation Network in supporting the nanosafety community with implementation of FAIR to maximize data-driven safe and sustainable application of nano- and advanced materials.
