Dear colleague, The Research Data Alliance Plenary Meetings constitute a major event where more than 4000 members from 100 countries come together to discuss, develop and promote data-sharing and data-driven research infrastructure through Working and Interest Groups. The 9th Plenary of the Research Data Alliance under the theme #DataInfrastructures for #OpenScience - aimed to explore how best to exploit the data revolution to improve science and society through data-driven discovery and innovation.
The Interest Group on Agriculture Data had a pre-meeting (3 to 4 April 2017) brought together more than 110 top data scientists (from more than 35 countries and from 5 continents). The summary is now available at http://aims.fao.org/activity/blog/highlights-igad-outbreak-sessions-rda-p9 Slides of the IGAD Pre-Meeting in Barcelona are now published in the Open knowledge in agricultural development (OKAD) channel of F1000research and can be accessed at https://f1000research.com/channels/okad?&selectedDomain=SLIDES My thanks to colleagues in FAO and RDA who worked to make this happen and build opportunities for future joint research and publications for expanding AgriGIS.
