O POLENdigital service of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), developed by FCCNlaunches its new official website - a space dedicated to managing and sharing research data, promoting the practice of Open Science.
With a modern, accessible and user-centereddesign , the site aims to make it easier for the scientific and higher education community to access the services and resources provided by POLEN. The new interface reflects the service's core values: openness, transparency and greater visibility of scientific results.
"The new POLEN website reinforces FCT's commitment to Open Science and to making services more accessible and aligned with the needs of the scientific community. It is a concrete step towards more effective data management in line with the FAIR principles." says João Mendes Moreira, area director at FCCN, FCT's digital services unit.
On the website, you can find information on POLEN's main services: the Data Management Plan System and the Research Data Repository. It also contains up-to-date information on the activities in which the service actively participates, such as the implementation of the National Program for Open Science and Open Research Data (PNCADAI), the GDI Forum, alignment with important national and international initiatives, among others.
Filipa Pereira, manager of the service, emphasizes: "This site represents another step towards consolidating practices to support research data management, making services more accessible, interconnected and adapted to the needs of institutions and researchers."
A new image for a new phase of the POLEN service
The launch of the new website accompanies a new phase for POLEN, driven by the PNCADAI, aimed at promoting the practice of FAIR data at national level, through the implementation of new services, a national network, the development and monitoring of Open Science policies and collaboration in relevant projects.
The updating of the website is in line with the recent modernization of POLEN's image, promoting a commitment to clearer, more accessible communication, adapted to the needs of the scientific community.
The new visual identity also reinforces the service's connection to FCT and brings it closer to FCCN's new identity. The colors that distinguish it reveal the technological area of the FCCN of which it is a part - the Knowledge area, represented by the color purple.
