Our Head of the DASS-BiH, Amela Kurta, is a co-author of the publication Strengthening Repository Practices: Experiences and Outcomes from the FIDELIS TTRAM workshops, developed within the FIDELIS network. The publication presents experiences and results from a pilot support programme focused on strengthening the transparency and trustworthiness of digital repositories through the application of the TTRAM (Transparent Trustworthy Repository Attributes Matrix) framework.
On 16 December 2025, Amela Kurta presented DASS-BiH’s participation in the FIDELIS pilot programme at an online meeting of the FIDELIS network, highlighting key lessons learned and the benefits of the process for improving internal documentation, workflows, and preparedness for future evaluations and certifications.

We would like to sincerely thank the FIDELIS network for the opportunity to participate in this pilot programme and to contribute to a valuable collective effort aimed at advancing trustworthy and transparent research data repositories across Europe.
