The Research Data Alliance’s 22nd Plenary meeting (VP22) took place as a fully virtual event. Organised by the RDA Secretariat, VP22 was held for half-days spread across two weeks, between 14-23 May 2024.

With the theme “Local Action – Global Connection”, which also aligns with the four themes of RDA’s Strategic Plan, the plenary focused on collaboration and engagement with our global community through the sharing of local experiences, best practices and recommendations.

Individuals and groups at all stages of their careers participated in the discussions, met data professionals, and got involved in the RDA community. Over the course of two weeks, RDA Working and Interest Groups, Communities of Practice and Birds of a Feather sessions addressed the most significant challenges that data leaders face today, presenting ongoing research that are building the fundamentals for data science.

Sessions recordings and presentation slides are available for the general public. View here.
