On 8th September 2017, the National Library of Ireland hosted the second Irish National RDA Workshop.
The Workshop entitled ‘A National Approach to Open Research Data in Ireland’, was co-organised by the two Irish RDA partners, the National Library of Ireland and the Digital Repository of Ireland, in partnership with the Irish National Open Research Forum.
