Dear RDA UK Members,
There is still time to register for the first RDA UK Workshop on 18 January 2019, from 13:00 to 16:15 GMT. The event will take place at Jisc’s London office at 15 Fetter Lane, London, EC4A 1BW. Registration is free but essential – https://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/introduction-to-the-rda-uk-national-node-1…
The event is designed to inform attendees about the Research Data Alliance in general and the planned activities of the UK node, and also to generate discussion about future UK node activities. We want as much input as possible on how the node can help and support the UK members of the RDA, as well as attract new members to the RDA global community. Details on the UK node activities can be found on the RDA UK page – https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/rda-united-kingdom.
