3. What is RDA?
RDA is an international member based organization focused on the
development of infrastructure and community activities that reduce barriers
to data sharing and exchange, and the acceleration of data driven innovation
worldwide.
With more than 8,600 members globally representing 137 countries, RDA
includes researchers, scientists and data science professionals working in
multiple disciplines, domains and thematic fields and from different types of
organizations across the globe.

7. RDA and the Biomedical Sciences
Notable highlights
• the FAIRSharing WG has attempted to answer the question of linking data,
repositories, standards and policies in the biomedical, life and
environmental sciences.
• the ELIXIR Bridging Force IG aims to be a bridge between ELIXIR, the
European life science infrastructure programme, and relevant RDA groups.
• the RDA-EU Ambassadors
o Julien Barde - RDA EU Ambassador for Marine Sciences / Fisheries
o Anne Cambon-Thomsen - RDA EU Ambassador health sciences and for research
ethics
o Caterina Caracciolo - RDA EU Ambassador for Agricultural Sciences
o Fotis Psomopoulos - RDA EU Ambassador for Bioinformatics

8. RDA-COVID19 Working Group
Aims
1. To define detailed practical guidelines on data
sharing under the present COVID-19 circumstances to
help stakeholders follow best practices to maximize
the efficiency and impact of their work.
2. To develop guidelines for policymakers to maximize
timely data sharing and appropriate responses in
such health emergencies
06/05/2020 rd-alliance.org @resdatall / @fopsom 8
Expected Outcomes / Deliverables
1. Best practice guidelines per sub-group
and overall
2. Recommendations for researchers
and policymakers to help maximize
data sharing
3. Catalogue of key resources to inform
guidelines (e.g. key datasets,
standards, tools, repositories etc)
4. A decision tree tool to facilitate
navigation to specific resources by
different stakeholders
