This session will build on the IG’s session at RDA 14 (Helsinki), as well as IG meetings and engagement with other RDA IGs and WGs since then, to update participants on IG activities and seek input on IG deliverables.  Specifically, the IG co-chairs aim to:

• Present findings and analysis of the IG’s survey of research funders on their open science policies and practices;
• Seek input from participants on a possible case study of funder adoption RDA outputs;
• Update participants on collaborations with other IGs and WGs, and seek input on their direction;

Seek input from participants on a deliverable that would investigate incentives that funders could implement to advance open science.
