Athens 25 June 2015


Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that a regional Research Data Alliance (RDA)
workshop will take place *on 25 June 2015* in Athens, Greece, with the
presence of its Secretary General, Mark Parsons, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, USA. RDA builds the social and technical bridges that enable
open sharing of data across technologies, disciplines, and countries. The
main objective of the RDA regional workshop is on one hand to present the
RDA initiative, its main activities and working groups along with their
initial outputs and on the other hand to investigate the engagement of
groups from South Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and Caucasus regions in
RDA.

The workshop will take place at the Divani Caravel hotel
<http://divanicaravelhotel.com/map.html> and will be a full day event
(9am-5pm most probably). It will include the following sessions:

·         *About RDA*, covering RDA activities, working groups and initial
outputs - keynote speech by Mark Parsons;

·         *Regional Involvement in RDA*, highlighting the involvement of
regional experts in RDA Working and Interest Groups;

·         *Other (non-RDA) data management/big data activities in the
region with interest for RDA*, such as National Digital Infrastructures or
other related Research Infrastructures or e-Infrastructures;

·         *Panel: Development of national/regional RDA activities, *where
the creation of national/regional RDA initiatives will be discussed.

*Note that for the second and third sessions, we would like to ask data
experts, especially outside Greece, with active participation in RDA
Working/Interest Groups or in an another activity closely related to come
forward with short proposals for presentations including a short abstract
and a short CV (1-2 paragraphs each) . The deadline for submitting your
interest is the 2nd of June 2015.*
