This one day workshop will provide attendees with information about how the RDA, as a community-driven organisation, is working to achieve its vision. It will include representatives from specific working and interest groups highlighting their work and discussing how this work can be used practically in universities and data centres in the UK. The event will be of particular interest to decision makers, managers and enablers, users and consumers, researchers and research managers.

Speakers at the workshop include Rachel Bruce (Deputy Chief Innovation Officer, Jisc), Mark Parsons (Secretary General, RDA) and Juan Bicarregui (RDA Europe).
