In 2023 the Research Data Alliance will celebrate its 10th Anniversary. We’re excited to commemorate this important milestone with our community by organising a series of international and regional events and activities that meet the following objectives:
1. To reflect on the past, present and future of the RDA
2. To reinforce our mission, vision and guiding principles
3. To recognise our community members, partners and funders
4. To celebrate the community’s successes with the wider research data community.
10 months to celebrate 10 years of the RDA
Each month of 2023, from February to November, will be dedicated to a specific theme related to research data management of relevance to the RDA community. The RDA Secretariat and regional bodies are organising various thematic events and activities (e.g., webinars, workshops and podcasts) to meet the objectives detailed above.
