CESSDA Trust Group

Trust

The CESSDA Trust Group offers both existing and aspiring service providers guidance and support in meeting a range of issues and standards relating to trusted data and services. CESSDA requires the adoption of specific criteria such as the internal obligations required from all members (CESSDA statutes) and the trustworthy digital repository (TDR) requirements set by the CoreTrustSeal.

These goals must be met within the evolving infrastructure (skills, services and technology) of European and international research data science.

CESSDA Trust Group consists of a core of service providers with experience in trust standards and certification and key contacts representing each of the CESSDA members and aspiring members.
