[Geo4All] RDA Europe Call for Collaboration Projects 2016 edition - Apply before 15th October 2016

[Suchith Anand]

This May 2016, RDA Europe launched its second Call for European Collaboration Projects designed to support communities that want to test and adopt the RDA Recommendations and Outputs.

All research initiatives, organisations and communities are invited to develop solutions adapting the RDA outputs to meet the requirements of concrete implementation cases. RDA Europe is committed, through its senior-junior teams and structured collaboration model, to provide support, advice and training for the full duration of the projects to ensure their success and uptake of the results.

RDA Collaboration Projects should be short and focused activities with concrete results to be produced within a 6 month time frame. Collaboration Projects will receive 15000 EUR grant for carrying out these activities.

Testing and adopting RDA Recommendations and Outputs from one of the Working or Interest Groups is an excellent way to be in the right place at the right moment in the data revolution.

RDA values your feedback and user experience and, together, we'll take one more step towards a future of openly shared research data.

- From a total of 25 applications received following the previous call, 7 projects received funding. The topics addressed span across the most diverse domains such as wheat data interoperability, temperature/salinity profiling floats, language resources and technology, virtual atomic and molecular data, publishing data services, and life sciences. Each of the funded collaboration projects identified the RDA outputs relevant to their research for experimentation, testing and validation of the RDA concepts and implementations.


If your research  benefits from the sharing of open interoperable data make sure you don't miss out on this opportunity. Use the online form to submit an application https://www.rd-alliance.org/rda-europe-call-collaboration-projects-2016-edition     The deadline to apply is the 15th of October.


Find out more about the RDA recommendations and Outputs (https://www.rd-alliance.org/recommendations-and-outputs/all-recommendations-and-outputs ) and see more than 65 examples of implementation and adoption (https://www.rd-alliance.org/recommendations-outputs/adoption-recommendations )

Get a head start by adhering to the RDA principles and giving your contribution to validating the future infrastructures.

Don't be a spectator: become part of the data revolution!

Best wishes,
