Project description
Research data management (RDM) is essential to the implementation of FAIR principles and Open Science. ELIXIR platforms, nodes and other structures have invested in RDM, resulting in the creation of valuable tools and resources. The RDM community aims to bring together RDM professionals to coordinate ELIXIR activities and develop its vision.
The short-term objectives are as follows:
