The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an international community-driven organisation whose mission is to develop the social and technical data infrastructure needed to drive innovation surrounding data sharing and data interoperability. RDA has a grass-roots, inclusive approach covering all data lifecycle stages, engaging data producers, users and stewards, addressing data curation, exchange, processing, and storage. RDA offers an open, inclusive, neutral social platform where over 11,000 research data professionals from 145 countries collaborate to exchange views and to agree on topics including social hurdles on data sharing, education and training challenges, data management plans and certification of data repositories, disciplinary and interdisciplinary interoperability, as well as technological aspects. Over 50 concrete outputs have been generated by the community to date and are available and open to all. RDA Association is the European contribution to the global RDA.
