The FAIR principles are a set of guidelines aimed at improving the management, sharing, and reuse of digital assets, including data and metadata. They emphasize the need for assets to be:

Findable: Data should be easy to find for both humans and computers. Unique identifiers and detailed metadata enhance the findability of data.
Accessible: Once found, data should be accessible with well-defined access conditions, whether open or under specific restrictions.
Interoperable: Data should be stored in formats and with vocabularies that ensure it can be integrated with other data, allowing for seamless exchange and reuse among researchers.
Reusable: Data should be well-documented and released with clear usage licenses to ensure they can be reused in different contexts.

Cancer Image Europe is a research infrastructure established by the EUCAIM project, a flagship action of the European Cancer Imaging Initiative.
