The National Repository Platform for Research Data (NRP) project has successfully passed a crucial evaluation and has been approved by the Evaluation Committee of the P JAC Managing Authority. After meeting the evaluators' and the committee's requirements, the project proposal will be ready for formal approval and allocation of funds for implementation. The project officially began on January 1, 2024, and has already undergone six months of intensive work.
"The evaluation was critical for the project's future. A potential negative assessment would have significantly impacted the entire EOSC initiative implementation process in the Czech Republic, potentially leading to substantial budget cuts or extensive modification requirements, at the very least delaying and complicating the implementation. The approval of the project's plans with only minimal demands for insignificant changes confirms the high quality of the prepared project and validates the timely commencement of the project," said Luděk Matyska, the principal investigator of the NRP project.
Given the successful evaluation, the project continues to be implemented according to the original plans, and the professional community can look forward to the results that will create a comprehensive foundation for broad collaboration in research data management.

What happens if we stop funding research data? And how can Europe connect data across scientific disciplines to better prepare for future crises? These were among the questions discussed at the ESFRI Stakeholder Forum, held in Cork, Ireland, on 22 September 2026. Research data were at the heart of the debate on the resilience of European research.
