RDA Group Directory

The Research Data Alliance accomplishes its mission primarily through Working Groups, Interest Groups and Communities of Practice. In order to allow new members to understand what technical and social infrastructure solutions RDA groups are developing, and which scientific disciplines may benefit RDA Group outcomes, this filter has been created to allow you identify which RDA group(s) might be more useful for your research.
