The Research Data Alliance 18th Plenary Meeting (RDA P18) was held between 3-11 November 2021. RDA P18 was the first plenary to be fully owned and organised by the RDA Secretariat without support from local organisers. The RDA Secretariat is responsible for the daily global operations.

To facilitate participation by the RDA’s global membership, meeting components were organised across a series of international time zones. All sessions were recorded and available to registered participants on the Plenary event platform, Whova, until mid-December when they became freely available to the RDA community and public via the plenary web pages.
