The amount of data generated by research is increasing exponentially. This brings security, privacy and storage challenges, but also new opportunities. The principles of FAIR data, for example, make it easier for researchers to build upon existing research results. Although the benefits of FAIR are widely recognised, there are still many misconceptions circulating.

In 2016, the Federal Science Policy Office (Belspo) developed an open access repository for scientific publications resulting from research projects they funded. At Belspo's request, Belnet recently optimised the tool and migrated it to the Belnet infrastructure.
