Imagine a dream scenario for Open Data advocates: A working field station that supports scientists with research data management practices that allow for their data to be used beyond the initial purpose of the project! Tetiaroa is such a place! Come join this webinar and hear about how the FAIR Island Project supports researchers and translates the broader FAIR principles into optimal data policies and technical infrastructure by leveraging RDA outputs including standards that support networked, machine-actionable Data Management Plans (DMPs), and Persistent Identifiers (PIDs). Leveraging the global research data management community’s work, FAIR Island provides a real-world example where data and knowledge collected on Tetiaroa will be curated and made openly available as quickly as possible.

This webinar will touch on several of the most challenging issues for data sharing in international research and present the framework that has been developed as an outcome of The International Network-of-Networks (iN2N)  project.  Researchers or data practitioners who are engaged in or supporting international research projects will find this webinar interesting.

For those members unfamiliar with RDA or for those that would like to learn a bit more detail about certain areas of the organisation, three brief information sessions will be held in the coming months leading up to VP18.  Mark your calendars and register to attend one (or all) if your schedule permits.

If you work within the research community (principal investigator, professor, researcher, data scientist, manager, etc.), you know there is a huge amount of commitment and expertise required to move projects from inception to completion.  Multi-tasking, shifting priorities, and resource constraints are common, with the focus frequently being on meeting deadlines and moving on to the next project.  Capturing attention from colleagues all over the world, who have the power to act on these insights and effect change, is a whole other job – and can be as large as formulating the group’s position, to begin with. This webinar will offer strategies for getting outputs into the right hands and promoting engagement.

This webinar is designed for the Chairs and Members of the RDA Working and Interest Groups, but anyone interested in this topic is invited and welcome to attend.
