Adoption Stories
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) currently hosts over 60 Interest Groups and more than 30 Working Groups consisting of experts who are working on various topics related to (open) research data and innovation. These working groups produce the RDA outputs: the technical and social infrastructure solutions enabling data sharing, exchange, and interoperability.
For you, to see how to implement the RDA outputs to improve the sharing, exchange and interoperability of your own data, we’ve asked RDA members who have already adopted RDA outputs, to share their experience and lessons learned in a story.
- Find at this page (page coming soon: www.rd-alliance.org/recommendations-outputs/adoption-stories) a series of RDA adoption stories by individuals, organisations and projects
- A series of Adoption videos tell you the stories from the mouth of the adopters – watch them in the RDA Adoption stories Playlist on Youtube here
- You can also download the stories in printable (pdf) format below
