Next week the Research Data Alliance (RDA) Seventh Plenary Meeting will take place in Tokyo, Japan. Data experts from all over the world will gather in Tokyo, marking this as an excellent opportunity for those wishing to learn about open research data and the open science landscape, especially in Japan. Before the RDA, the Japan Science and Technology Agency is organizing The Data Sharing Symposium, and afterward the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) along with the National Institute of Informatics, are co-organizing the Asian Open Access Meeting.
Continuing the open research data theme, we are excited to announce the Scientific Data Japan Roadshow starting Friday 4th March. Over the course of a week, the Scientific Data team will take part in a series of seminars and talks at several major research institutions, travelling over 2,700km to meet researchers based in Japan.
