Open Research Data ... breaking down barriers - RDA Second Plenary Meeting
The second Research Data Alliance plenary will take place in Washington DC, US, September 16-18 2013.
Scientists, research data infrastructure providers, research data practitioners, policy-makers and research data stakeholders from all over the world will gather at RDA’s second bi-annual plenary meeting, taking place from 16th to 18th September 2013 in the esteemed National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC, US. The meeting will provide existing and new and aspiring RDA community members an opportunity to conduct business and make progress on their plans and deliverables. The plenary will be a forum to demonstrate the value of RDA and to receive feedback from the broader research and policy communities. RDA members and plenary participants will get an update on both the governing and technical (Working & Interest Groups) activities since March 2013 (RDA Launch). RDA will leverage on the plenary to continue to define and build relationships with initiatives and organizations that share the same vision and can mutually benefit from engaging with each other.
Plenary sessions will include Keynotes from internationally renowned visionaries, including the US Government, reports from currently active Working and Interest Groups, a forum for affiliate organizations, and general RDA business meetings. All this coupled with parallel breakout sessions for the Working and Interest Groups, other ad-hoc groups and a dedicated session for RDA Newcomers on how to get involved, propose new working or interest groups and interact with the RDA members.
