Dear colleagues,
The Research Data Alliance (
https://www.rd-alliance.org ) is a community-driven organization that brings together data scientists, computer scientists, and domain scientists with one common goal – to remove the barriers to data sharing and reuse. The RDA Plenaries are working
meetings held every six months in different places around the world focused on helping move the community forward in creating tangible deliverables that improve data sharing across disciplines, technologies, and countries.
RDA Europe is offering travel support to Early Career European Researchers & Scientists working with Data to attend the 10th RDA Plenary meeting, to be held in Montrčal, Canada, 19-21 September 2017 .The programme has offered grant winners the opportunity to
