LA Referencia, RedCLARA and the Research Data Alliance United States (RDA-US) signed -during September 2021- a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that formalizes their relationship. The organizations will seek the establishment of the implementing principles of openness, consensus, inclusivity and harmonisation to build a social and technical infrastructure that enables open sharing and re-use of research data between regions to improve communication, to facilitate the exchange of resources, and technical capabilities.
Some of the primary lines of action of this memorandum will include:
- Facilitating national and transnational engagements, including the incorporation in Interest Groups and Working Groups or the creation of these to address data-related issues critical to LA Referencia and RedCLARA research community and the public at large.
- Promoting the organization of events and training to support the adoption of best practices in research data management across Latin America and Spain.
- Supporting the development of shared services and common standards, including policy development, capabilities and infrastructure interoperability requirements.
