SUMMARY:RDA 27th Plenary Meeting (P27)
DESCRIPTION:The Research Data Alliance (RDA) 27th Plenary Meeting (P27) will take place at The Kia Oval\, London\, United Kingdom\, from 6th to 8th October 2026 as an in-person event. This format marks a significant shift from recent practice and may prevent some community members from participating- a decision we have not taken lightly. \nSince 2020\, RDA plenary meetings have been either fully virtual or hybrid\, ensuring broad accessibility during and beyond the pandemic. P27 represents a deliberate pilot of a new approach: pairing an in-person plenary in the second half of each year with a fully virtual plenary in the first half. This model aims to balance the distinct benefits of both formats whilst ensuring equitable opportunities for engagement throughout the year. \n

SUMMARY:DAMAP-PL workshop: A tool to simplify the preparation of data management plans
DESCRIPTION:The DAMAP–PL inter-project grant\, funded under EOSC Gravity\, is organising an on-site workshop on 27 October 2026. Hosted at Gdańsk University of Technology\, the workshop will bring together researchers and research-support staff from the host institution\, as well as from two other Pomeranian universities: the University of Gdańsk and the Medical University of Gdańsk. The workshop will be conducted in Polish. \nThe DAMAP-PL project is coordinated by TU Wien in collaboration with Cyfronet AGH and Gdańsk University of Technology. The project aims to deploy the DAMAP tool within the Polish EOSC Node infrastructure\, integrate it with key node services\, and adapt it to the Data Management Plan (DMP) template requirements of Poland’s National Science Centre (NCN)\, national funding organisation. \nDAMAP is an open-source service that supports researchers and data stewards in preparing clear\, consistent\, and funder-aligned DMPs. By reusing information available through external services\, it reduces the need to enter the same data repeatedly. Its structured guidance and machine-actionable outputs help improve DMP quality while reducing the time\nrequired for preparation. \nWithin the DAMAP-PL project\, TU Wien provides guidance on software configuration\, Cyfronet AGH is responsible for deployment and EOSC-PL Node integration\, and Gdańsk University of Technology leads training and stakeholder engagement activities. \nThe workshop programme will include two parallel tracks: \n\nTechnical administrator track: Participants will learn how to configure DAMAP and tailor it to institutional requirements\, including through the administrator interface and available configuration options.\nResearcher and research-support track: Participants will explore DAMAP’s functionality through hands-on exercises\, learn how to use or support the use of the tool\, and contribute methodological feedback and suggestions for further improvement.\n\nAt the end of the workshop\, the organisers will collect participants’ feedback on the potential implementation and wider adoption of DAMAP in the Polish research landscape.
