Dear colleagues,

We are looking forward to welcome you to this hybrid event on 5th October 2026 (Monday) at 14:00(UK time)

As EDI is a global community, we want to ensure that colleagues from around the world have the opportunity to participate in and contribute to these important discussions. We are pleased to share that we have arranged interactive online participation using a concept-mapping tool for Panel 2: ?The Practice of Data as Commons: Reconciling FAIR, CARE, and TRUST Principles.? This will provide colleagues joining remotely with an opportunity to share their insights and ideas and contribute to shaping our plans moving forward.

The newly launched Munich Manifesto for Equitable Open Research <https://xdobbx.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjExNzA4MjYsXCJsXCI6MTk5NDkzMDM1NjUwNzEyNzgyLFwiclwiOjE5OTQ5MzI2NDk1MzMxMjc5Mn0iLCJzIjoiNzRhZGE0OTI4ZDI1MjBmOCJ9> tackles some of the biggest challenges in open science right now, from high publishing fees to top-down policies that leave less-resourced institutions behind. Learn about the Munich Manifesto at the EDI Stakeholder Forum.

Find out more about the event, view the updated agenda, and register: Bringing Ethics to the Global Research Commons: The EDI Stakeholder Forum at the RDA P27 - The Ethical Data Initiative <https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/2026/08/11/bringing-ethics-to-the-global-research-commons-the-edi-stakeholder-forum-at-the-rda-p27/>
