Registration is now open for the first RDA Annual Summit in Europe

8 July 2025

The first RDA in Europe Annual Summit will be held in Paris on Tuesday, 18 November 2025. This free event, organised by RDA Europe in collaboration with RDA France and CNRS, is open to anyone interested in research data and related policy.

The Summit will be held at the Auditorium Marie-Curie of CNRS and will bring together European RDA regions and their members to explore challenges and solutions at both national and pan-European levels. It will also offer an opportunity to reflect on RDA’s role and priorities within the broader European research landscape.

The event’s theme is ‘Weaving the RDA Tapestry: From Community Insights to Collective Action’. Shaped by contributions from the European RDA community, the programme features lightning talks, poster presentations and a regional roundtable, with topics defined in collaboration with regional representatives.

Call for contributions

Participants are invited to contribute to the programme via posters or short presentations. Submissions will be evaluated by the programme committee and can be submitted under one of two themes.

Track 1: RDA regional success stories
European RDA regions are encouraged to showcase how they engage their communities, implement RDA outputs and share experiences across borders.

Track 2: RDA in Europe Use Cases
Projects, organisations and individuals using RDA to develop research data solutions are invited to present their work. Examples may include use within EC-funded projects, institutional adoption of RDA outputs, or integration into everyday workflows.

Further information
