The BRIDGE Conference took place on 20 and 21 March in Bucharest, Romania, bringing together a diverse group of researchers, data managers, and policymakers from various domains. The aim of the conference was to promote interdisciplinary research and cross-domain integration by improving practices around data management, sharing, and reuse. This was achieved through six panel discussions on topics such as discipline-specific challenges, developments within EOSC, and data stewardship — with DANS participating in the latter two.
