A group of selected researchers from Portugal and Spain presented data from each of their particular areas.

The RDA plenaries happen biannually, in different locations all over the world, and gather researchers, scientists, engineers, amongst other specialists, with the purpose of sharing the knowledge developed in dozens of work groups and interest groups and the results in between technologies, subjects and even countries.

RDA, created in 2013, is a community organisation that intends to make available a neutral space so that its members can debate common interests and works, in order to adopt infrastructures to promote data and research results sharing.
