Our Statement of Work has now been finalised and submitted to RDA for endorsement of the Working Group. We thank everyone who provided feedback and contributed to its development. As the Statement of Work has now been submitted, we are no longer making changes to the document at this stage. We do, however, warmly welcome colleagues interested in the Working Group to join us via our RDA webpage. We hope to hear more about the next steps in the RDA process soon.

Our Statement of Work Summary is currently in development. We warmly welcome feedback by 21 August 2026. We will then revise the draft and formally submit it to RDA for endorsement of our Working Group. We are also actively looking for one or two extra co-chairs. To keep the leadership balanced and avoid being overly European-centric, we would ideally like to recruit someone from e.g., CODATA or WDS based overseas. Please let us know if you have recommendations or might be interested yourself!
