Work with the RDA community on global data sharing at P14: Apply for an RDA EU ECR or Expert grant

RDA Europe has opened a new wave of Calls for grant applications designed to facilitate the participation of Early Careers and Expert European RDA members to the upcoming Plenary meeting. The RDA Plenaries are working events built around the RDA Working Group (WG) and Interest Group (IG) meetings, in which the grantees will actively take part, engage, and share best practices.

Early Careers Researchers and Scientists working with Data

RDA Europe is seeking applications from students and early career professionals from higher education or research institutions with studies focusing on research data sharing and exchange challenges. The Early Career support programme will offer up to nine grants of maximum €1300. The RDA Europe Early Career programme has become a platform for early career researchers working with data to share ideas, experiences and practical advice, while learning what leading data scientists and practitioners are currently working on. This programme has offered grant winners the opportunity to engage directly with and support the work of RDA Working and Interest Groups, to learn and contribute, and become a part of the RDA global data sharing community.
