The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) are both celebrating centennials in 2019 and looking towards the digital future of scientific communication in Chemistry and Earth Sciences, respectively. Scientific unions have played key roles in facilitating scientific communication in their respective disciplines through development of standard definitions, procedures, publication practices and other processes of exchange across sectors. Data science presents many opportunities for innovative analysis across massive and diverse types of data from multiple disciplines and contexts. The scale of these efforts is surfacing many previously hidden challenges in data exchange and has prompted the formulation of the FAIR principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Re-usability of data by humans and machines [1]. These principles reflect the underlying core values of scientific data integrity in the long-standing work and expertise of the unions. Scientific unions have the opportunity to enable the incorporation of FAIR principles into the workflows of stakeholder communities of practice, to facilitate accurate data exchange and to enrich flow of data into interdisciplinary data projects emerging around the world. This talk will cover the FAIR data efforts and initiatives getting underway in IUPAC and AGU, and explore opportunities for synergy and collaboration.<br/><br/>
