Call for new RDA Europe national nodes

Under the Research Data Alliance (RDA) Europe 4.0 project, financial support is provided for the set up of new RDA Europe nodes. RDA Europe, the European plug-in to the Research Data Alliance, has established a network of national nodes to foster adoption of RDA outputs in the region, and thereby enable interoperability and data sharing on a global scale. Nodes engage with research communities, support national agendas, contribute to the EU Open Science Strategy, and aim to increase the uptake of standards and participation in RDA globally. In collaboration with a diverse range of national and regional stakeholders, they support the RDA mission of building the technical and social bridges that enable open sharing of data. Apply by 17 August 17.00 CEST, more information here.

RDA Europe selects 8 projects for funding following its Adoption Open Call.  Have a look at the funded projects, leading organisations and the RDA results planned for the uptake here.

RDA GEDE Webworkshop On Adaptation Of Repositories To The Digital Object Interface Protocol

When: 22 May - 14:00 CEST

The use of FAIR Digital Objects to implement the FAIR principles and to make data practices more efficient is now widely accepted. It is also widely agreed that repositories are the care takers of FAIR Digital Objects. The DO Interface Protocol is the unified protocol that allows to create and access FAIR DOs independent of how a repository is organising and modelling its data. Thus, repositories should talk DOIP, but the reality is different. Join the discussion at the GEDE Webworkshop.  

 


ELIXIR Webinar: Trustworthy data repositories in the Life Sciences: The role of CoreTrustSeal Certification

When: 29 May - 15:00 CEST

With the recent report ‘Turning FAIR data into reality’, CoreTrustSeal (CTS) is playing an increasingly prominent role in the ecosystem of generating and serving FAIR data. This webinar will introduce the Trustworthy concept and data repository certifications including CTS. Join the webinar here.
