This handbook was written and edited by a group of about 40 collaborators in a series of six book sprints that took place between 1 and 10 June 2021. It aims to support higher education institutions with the practical implementation of content relating to the FAIR principles in their curricula, while also aiding teaching by providing practical material, such as competence profiles, learning outcomes, lesson plans, and supporting information. It incorporates community feedback received during the public consultation which ran from 27 July to 12 September 2021.

"When Ake was nine years old the judgment was given which was forever to leave its mark on him and on the life of his family; the doctor's certificate with the inconceivable words-mentally retarded. The departure from the love and security of his family was brutal and ruthless. His own people could not protect him. The Poor Relief had spoken. Ake was placed in an asylum. Today Ake Johansson is a free man, back in society and frequently consulted as a lecturer in Sweden as well as abroad on awareness of disability, and the outlook on man. But how was it possible for him to endure more than thirty years in an institution with no warming eyes and no comforting hands, also without any explanations? In Ake's Book he himself tells us through Kristina Lundgren, the journalist, about his childhood, about the approved school called idiot asylum, about his adult life in a workhouse for men only and about the constant feeling of being hunted by "Authority". But he also tells us about his way out, back to society again" -- Back cover.
