Who puts the "Single" into SSO?

RDA France meeting, 20 June 2014, Paris
Last Friday it was my pleasure to present RDA at the national French RDA meeting organised in Paris at the MENESR (Ministère de l’Education Nationale, de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche).
The meeting aimed to increase French involvement in the RDA processes as well as to receive feedback from French players on getting involved in RDA and how RDA could embrace activity in France further.
