Workshop abstract

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an international organization that aims to build technical and social bridges for data sharing. In its vision data is shared freely across technologies, disciplines and countries, to respond to the challenges of society. RDA Europe, the European component of the global RDA, is promoting a network of national nodes through calls that require the definition of goals and plans for each node. The RDA-pt node is supported by RDA Europe from February 15, 2019 to May 31, 2020 as an agile structure for the promotion of the RDA in Portugal.
The RDA-pt workshop starts with an introduction to the goals of the RDA and its organization, namely the Interest Groups and Working Groups where RDA activities are developed. This goes further into the RDA recommendations and outputs, and the ongoing work on sustainability. Members of the RDA-pt board will then present the node workplan and describe briefly the activities already performed and their results.
Participants from the RDA-4 national nodes will provide short testimonies on their own activities, highlighting the diversity of outreach actions and the degrees of maturity of the nodes. The workshop will take advantage of the presence of Ilaria Fava, project officer for RDA-4, who will provide details on open calls within the project. Eva Mendez, an RDA ambassador, will contribute with her vision on the organisation.
The final part of the workshop focuses on the liaison between RDA and EOSC and the sustainability plans of the Portuguese node. It will have the participation of João Moreira, from FCCN, and Nuno Rodrigues, from the Board of FCT (Portuguese funding agency).

target audience
