The GFF Fellows Programme aims to build human capacity for implementing FAIR data and services in ways that are consistent with the GO FAIR criteria. To build a qualified global capacity, the Foundation initiated the GFF Fellows Programme. Fellows spend agreed-upon time with the GFF to contribute their knowledge and skills to the GO FAIR community, to learn more about FAIR implementation approaches, to train on the job and in most cases become a qualified implementer/trainer who can help others to implement FAIR data and services. With the Fellows Programme, the GFF offers a platform where talented people can collaborate to find solutions to FAIR related challenges that are identified within the Fellows organisations and beyond.
