The Dutch Data Prize
Every two years, the Dutch Data Prize is awarded to an individual or a team that makes research data FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.
The Dutch Data Prize Award Ceremony is part of the FAIR-IMPACT National Roadshow. The event is free, but registration is required.
On 17 October 2024, the Dutch Data Prize will be awarded in three categories:
- Social Sciences and Humanities
- Natural and Engineering Sciences
- Life Sciences and Health
The winners of the Dutch Data Prize receive € 3.500,- towards making their dataset more FAIR, e.g. by organising a symposium or by making the data accessible online.
Nominees have a chance of winning this award. They have nominated their own dataset or a dataset produced by another individual or research group. Nominations are limited to research led or primarily conducted by research-performing organisations in the Netherlands. Nominations were possible until 30 August 2024.

Prize Winning Research Data Practices
The Dutch Data Prize is a valuable recognition of researchers’ contributions to their own field and to the principle of FAIR data. There are many routes to practising FAIR data management and each of the finalists will have the opportunity to share ‘behind the scenes’ details about their research and data management practices in a short address prior to the award ceremony.
