Be sure to keep the last days of October free in your diary so you can join us in Rome for the 2nd EUDAT Conference.

The Eternal City will set the backdrop for this gathering of international data infrastructure providers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss the opportunities offered through the Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) supported by EUDAT.

The conference will address new data challenges – the case for cross-disciplinary science and services – in view of the European Commission’s imminent Horizon 2020 programme. International cooperation and collaboration aspects of e-infrastructures, with a particular focus on the recently launched Research Data Alliance (RDA), will also be high on the agenda together with input from the community-driven initiatives collaborating with EUDAT.

The essential role and contribution of industry – as a user and service provider, and hence key stakeholder in this infrastructure – will also be covered. So, mark the date, and keep watching for registration information and calls for participation coming soon
