Dear RDA UK Members,
As members of the RDA in the UK Group you will be receiving emails from the node coordinators. If you do not wish to receive further emails please see below how to unsubscribe. As this is our first email we'd like to welcome you to what we hope will be a productive and engaging group.
The RDA UK node is the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), supported by Jisc. As part of the project we will be running a number of webinars and workshops to promote the work of the RDA and engage with the UK research community.

Dear members of the RDA in UK Group,

RDA is an international volunteer member based organisation and as such encourages the initiative and support of its members across the globe to animate their community on a national level. Researchers and innovators are local rather than global. Therefore interacting with them in the local language, offering them a platform for exchange of information suitable to the RDA and their activities, in compliance with RDA's guiding principles, is part of RDA's mission.
