abstract = {The topic of data storage, traceability, and data use and
reuse in the years following experiments is becoming an
important topic in Europe and across the world. Many
scientific communities are striving to create open data by
the FAIR principles. This is a requirement from the European
Commission for EU-funded projects and experiments at
EU-funded research infrastructures (RIs) and from many
national funding agencies. This is challenging for users of
large-scale RIs such as neutron, photon, synchrotron and
free-electron laser facilities. Users of photon and neutron
(PaN) RIs employ a wide range of scattering, imaging and
spectroscopic methods investigating the behaviour of matter
with a broad scientific base across physics, chemistry and
biology, including engineering, environmental, cultural
heritage and medical applications. They produce large data
volumes of up to 1 PByte per day in some cases. To ensure
all these data are FAIR requires an enormous effort from PaN
RIs. It requires not only the expansion of data storage
capacity, but also the development and deployment of
software for effective data storage, metadata schemes and
implementation of effective data pipelines at each
individual experiment across RIs. FAIR data also affect the
carbon footprint related to large amounts of data and raise
questions related to user authentication, rights of access
and cyber security. The RIs alone cannot achieve such a
transformational process. For successful open science,
cooperation of the user communities is essential as they
need to create and utilize existing tools to deliver FAIR
data. In this white paper, the European PaN community
outline and discuss the role and responsibilities of the
users and RIs and their common accountability to achieve
FAIR data. This paper shall serve as a starting point for a
common user and RI approach on the European scale to achieve
FAIR data.},
