Important highlights of the 3-day meeting include the following:

Dear RDA Community members,

As you know our next Plenary meeting will take place in less than two months in beautiful Melbourne. The Australian government is a founding funder of the RDA and has championed us through ANDS and now ARDC since the launch in 2013. CSIRO has generously agreed to host the meeting and co-locate it with their C3DIS conference.Finally, we have the opportunity to find out, first hand, what the data activities, collaboration opportunities and challenges are for our Australian, Pacific Ocean and Asian colleagues.

Dear RDA members,

This is a gentle reminder for you to submit your poster submission application and/or co-located event application for Plenary 15 by 29 January.

Our local organisers are hard at work planning for what is sure to be an excellent meeting, and although there are only eight weeks left until the event, there is still plenty of time for you to plan for a trip to the beautiful city of Melbourne.

Dear RDA Community Members,

On behalf of myself, the RDA Council and community, I wish to express our solidarity and sadness for the terrible fires that our Australian colleagues are experiencing at the moment. Our wonderful local hosts of the 15th RDA Plenary meeting taking place in Melbourne in March wish to share this message with you all.
