Webinar: Strategies for supporting collaborations, relationships for opening data in agriculture

The free GODAN e-learning course on Open Data and Research Data Management in Agriculture and Nutrition focuses on how to deal with different types of data formats and uses, and on the importance of reliability, accessibility, interoperability and transparency of data.  

This course is enriched by a number of Webinars designed to strengthen the course content, and to give course participants broader perspective in the relevant Open Data areas.

The GODAN Action team will offer similar programmes later in the year (2018).
