About Us

About the Initiative

This website is designed as a starting point for an RDA ambassador initiative connected to the broader Research Data Alliance (RDA) ecosystem.

RDA is a global, community-driven organisation that works to enable the open sharing and reuse of research data across disciplines, technologies, and countries. Within that context, ambassadors can help translate RDA outputs, FAIR data practices, and open science approaches into the needs of specific communities.

Our Mission

  • Promote: Share FAIR data practices, open science approaches, and relevant RDA outputs.
  • Connect: Act as a bridge between domain communities and the wider RDA network.
  • Support: Provide orientation, resources, and practical pathways for adoption.

How This Fits into RDA

  • RDA provides the wider international community, working groups, interest groups, recommendations, and outputs.
  • This site can serve as a local, thematic, or programme-level entry point for ambassador activities.
  • Ambassadors can help communities discover where RDA is useful in day-to-day research data practice.
