DESCRIPTION:Representatives from ELIXIR Switzerland will present the outcom
 es of the ELIXIR Sustainability Implementation Study\, focused on reviewin
 g sustainable funding models for knowledge bases\, with UniprotKB/Swiss-Pr
 ot as a specific use case.\n\nChiara Gabella will present the recent paper
  published on ELIXIR F1000R channel Funding knowledgebases: Towards a sust
 ainable funding model for the UniProt use case which explored twelve fundi
 ng models for data resources and applied them on the Universal Protein Res
 ource (UniProt)\, a key resource for protein sequences and functional info
 rmation knowledge. The paper shows that most of the models present inconsi
 stencies with open access or equity policies\, and that while some models 
 do not allow to cover the total costs\, they could potentially be used as 
 a complementary income source.\n\nThe webinar will also present a new mode
 l developed as part of the Implementation Study whereby funding agencies w
 ould set aside a fixed percentage of their research grant volumes\, which 
 would subsequently be redistributed to core data resources according to we
 ll-defined selection criteria. Under this model\, compatible with the prin
 ciples of open science\, less than 1% of the total amount dedicated to res
 earch grants in the life sciences would be sufficient to cover the costs o
 f the core data resources worldwide\, including both knowledgebases and de
 position databases.\n\n
