Anyone involved in life science data infrastructure world wide.
The Life Science Data Infrastructures Interest Group is formed to serve as a bridge between life science data infrastructures in different regions of the world and relevant RDA Interest Groups, including both specific subtopics of the life sciences such as agricultural data, marine data, structural biology, toxicogenomics, as well as generic topics that can/should be applied in the life sciences such as big data analysis, federated identity management, and data publishing.
The IG aspires to have meaningful representation from diverse geographical regions including North and South America, the EU, UK and Eastern Europe; Africa, Asia and Oceania; and will actively seek participation from under-represented groups and the global South.
The IG also aims for fair gender representation and inclusivity in all its activities.
The Charter for this group was approved by the TAB in May 2022.
The group will meet for the first time at the 19th RDA Plenary in June 2022.
