RDA EU Early Career Support Programme for the RDA 11th Plenary

RDA Europe is offering 5 grants to help encourage the participation of early career professionals to learn and contribute and become a part of the RDA global data sharing community. 

Moreover, the RDA 11 Plenary will provide them the opportunity to engage with data experts and communities represented at the event and gain expertise on data infrastructures. At the same time, it also allows them to build and expand their network.

Applicants from the Early Career European Researchers category will be required to display a poster summarising their studies and areas of interest, attend a working group meeting, take notes and write a blog or article for the RDA website.

For more information on how to apply, check out the details and application form at  RDA EU Expert Support Programme for the RDA 11th Plenary.

 

RDA EU Expert Support Programme for the RDA 11th Plenary

Aside from the grants for early career researchers, five grants will also be available for experts to shoulder their costs for attending the RDA 11 Plenary. 

The grants directly benefit experts who have a strong interest in the RDA and are either drivers or adopters of one or more of the RDA EU outputs that support data sharing within their projects or organisations. Those who wish to apply for the grant must reside and work in Europe.

Applications will be judged based on the level of interest and commitment, their contributions to RDA WG or IG, recommendations or outputs, their work as ambassadors for RDA within their communities, organisations and at national levels.
