Early Career Support Programme opened for the RDA Plenary in Barcelona
The Early Career Support Programme for the 9th RDA Plenary arranged in Barcelona is now open. The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is a community-driven organization that brings together data scientists, computer scientists, librarians and domain scientists with one common goal: to remove the barriers to data sharing and reuse.
RDA Europe is offering travel support to European Early Career Researchers and Scientists working with data to attend the 9th RDA Plenary meeting, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, 5–7 April 2017.
The RDA Plenaries are working meetings held every six months in different places around the world. Events truly help move the community forward in creating tangible outputs that improve data sharing across disciplines, technologies, and countries.
At its 7th edition, the aim of the programme is to introduce European early career researchers and scientists to RDA, highlight what data scientists and practitioners are doing, leverage on Early Career Researchers and Scientists knowledge to support Plenary 9 activities and support the Working Group and Interest Group activities.
If you are currently engaged in Bachelor, Masters, PhD or Post Doc studies related to tackling the challenges around research data management and your study is conducted in a higher education or research institution based in Europe, you can apply for the RDA Europe early Career Programme.
Deadline for submissions: January 31st 2017, midnight (CET). (Local time in Finland, February 1st 2017 at 1.00 a.m.)
