The use of new data types (data generated from social media, economic and administrative transaction data, digital behavioral data, etc.) for the study of social phenomena is continuously increasing within research/academic communities worldwide. These new types of data present new challenges for research infrastructures in terms of supporting/training their staff, as well as researchers more broadly, particularly in areas related to ethics, transparency, and reuse. Guided by the principles of FAIR data (findable, accessible, identifiable, and re-usable), these new data must become discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable by adapting and extending infrastructures originally designed for traditional data sources. Emphasis will be placed on metadata, data documentation, and data quality, as well as organizing an international conference to support CESSDA's new role regarding the new data types.
