The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) aims to develop a web of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data and
services for science in Europe. In order to achieve a sustainable EOSC, Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs) providing long-term
preservation services are required. The FIDELIS project aims to establish a healthy, vibrant and self-sustaining network of TDRs that
will foster a supportive open science environment and guarantee FAIR data sharing also in the future. Within its three-year lifetime,
FIDELIS will set up, develop, and operate a European network of trustworthy repositories that will support the development and growth
of TDRs within the EOSC ecosystem; foster harmonisation and interoperability across repositories to enable an EOSC federation of
TDRs; and strengthen the upskilling of repositories and expansion of the network through an active training and support programme. The
word Fidelis comes from the latin Fides and means trustworthy, faithful, loyal, dependable, true. In Ancient Rome, Fides is everything
that is required for honour and credibility, from fidelity in marriage, to contractual arrangements, and the obligation soldiers owed to
Rome. It is also the name of the goddess of trust, faithfulness and good faith (bona fides).
