How is Open Data and Open Science being encouraged and nurtured across the global research community? What are the biggest challenges and benefits? And how are industry players like Oracle helping? We’ll be exploring those questions and much more with Hilary Hanahoe, Secretary General of the Research Data Alliance (RDA). RDA is a global community-driven organization with the goal of building the social and technical infrastructure to enable open sharing and re-use of data. As Secretary General, Hilary’s responsibilities include leadership of RDA’s membership, management of the RDA organization, engagement with stakeholders, and sustainable stewardship of their high-impact global community. Oracle is a member of the RDA and is currently undergoing research projects with the RDA to advance industry best practices and promote FAIR data principles.
