In the session "Data Science", Mark Allen (ESCAPE partner and Observatoire de Strasbourg) did a presentation entitled "FAIR data in Astronomy". The presentation also mentioned how ESCAPE Virtual Observatory (VO) aims to be a key for discovery and reuse, using common disciplinary International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) standards and fostering good practices for data access, deposition and sharing of data, as well as for data management curation and preservation. The ESCAPE VO will be a pioneer of data sharing with a well established alliance of international partners who cooperate to build the necessary interoperability standards.
