Planet Research Data Commons and the Impact of Being Involved in the RDA

About the Event

Join us for an exciting opportunity to explore the development of the ARDC Planet Research Data Commons (Planet RDC), through which shared data and digital research tools are revolutionising our ability to confront the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Whether the challenge is adapting to climate change, saving endangered species or reversing ecosystem degradation, our mission is to empower researchers and decision makers alike with the data and tools they need to make a real difference.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) and their Working Groups, there are many practical approaches to making data and tools interoperable, which have laid the foundations for the creation of the Planet RDC.

At this webinar, you’ll have the chance to hear directly from the ARDC Director of the Planet RDC and other figures who have played a vital role in making earth sciences, environmental and agricultural data FAIR.

Join us and discover the benefits of learning about the RDA, where collaboration, innovation and passion are at the heart of everything.
