Join the Research Data Alliance at its 5th Plenary Meeting in San Diego,
California

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is pleased to announce that the United
States will be hosting its 5th Plenary Meeting in San Diego, California from
March 9 -11, 2015, at the beautiful Paradise Point Hotel.

The RDA is an international organization that was formed in 2013 through
funding from the National Science Foundation, the European Commission and
the Australian government, with a mission to reduce barriers to data sharing
and exchange, and accelerate data driven innovation worldwide. In just two
years, RDA membership has grown to include 2,600 individuals from over 92
countries.

This 5th Plenary is open to RDA members and the public. We especially
welcome those individuals that share our core values of creating the
building blocks of common data infrastructures that can bridge disciplinary
activities under a community-driven and non-profit model. Data experts,
scientists, researchers and other professionals are encouraged to attend, as
well as students and early career professionals in industries related to the
fields of research data sharing and exchange.
