National Data Services Framework Summit 2019

National Data Services Framework Summit 2019

To support research data stewardship in Canada, RDC brings together a broad stakeholder community to discuss the opportunities and challenges of building a National Data Services Framework (NDSF). The NDSF Summit is a forum where the Canadian research data management community can learn, collaborate, exchange ideas, and discuss common issues, with a goal of developing a shared understanding of the current Canadian landscape and recommendations for future initiatives.

Program

This 1.5‑day event builds on the 1st NDSF Summit (2017) to develop a description of the current Canadian NDSF landscape and recommendations for moving forward. Additional program details will be made available on this page in the coming weeks, including a discussion document that will provide background material for the event. For more information, please contact RDC Executive Director, Mark Leggott.

Please note: The program will be conducted in English.
