About RDA
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is a community-driven organization whose mission is to develop the social and technical data infrastructure needed to drive innovation surrounding data sharing and data interoperability.  Established in 2013, RDA supports more than 8,400 international members representing 137 countries, has generated 32 concrete outputs (eight of which are recognized as standards in Europe) with over 75 documented adoption cases (May 2019).
