Summary:

"The Research Data Alliance aims to facilitate the global research data sharing and exchange. This international effort encourages increasing interest among people who wish to participate to global research data initiatives. There is a parallelism of community based harmonization approaches, including worldwide active communities, stimulated by answering the big scientific and societal challenges and driven by the need to address cross-disciplinary challenges. RDA Europe is the European plugin into global RDA activities and is organising this workshop. The goal of this workshop is to discuss European aspects of global research data sharing and exchange as well as inject new ideas and European achievements to be presented and represented during the RDA 2nd Plenary meeting taking place at the National Academy of Sciences 16 – 18 September 2013 in Washington DC. The European Commission, DG Connect, eInfrastructures unit head Kostas Glinos and Data Infrastructure Scientific Officer Carlos Morais-Pires will lead a brainstorming session on data infrastructures in Horizon 2020. With respect to the cross-disciplinary activities it is obvious that the notions of 'components or building blocks' of common data infrastructures and building specific 'data bridges' are becoming accepted metaphors for approaching the data complexity and enable data sharing. The Research Data Alliance aims to tackle this large problem in a bottom-up fashion with short-term concrete-goal working groups."
