The Research Data Alliance was founded by the European Commission, the National Scientific Fund (NSF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the United States government and the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science of the Australian government in 2013. RDA aims to build the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing and reuse of data on a global level, which is expected to boost the EU Open Science Strategy.
The Hungarian Research Data Alliance enables Hungary to implement the FAIR (findable, accessable, interoperable, reusable) principles in managing and storing data and to participate in EU development programs.
