[IRTalk] OECD and WDS Report on Coordination and Support of International Research Data Networks

[Mustapha Mokrane]

Thanks Ina.

OECD also published a second *OECD Global Science Forum and WDS Report on
"Coordination and Support of International Research Data Networks"* which
will certainly be of interest to colleagues of the AOSP:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/e92fa89e-en

International research data networks are critical for progress in many
scientific domains and underpin efforts to promote Open Science. At the
same time, many of these networks are fragile and the responsibilities for
their support and performance are frequently distributed across a variety
of different actors. This report explores the challenges and enablers for
the effective functioning of international research data networks. It
analyses the diversity and complexity of these networks, and issues such as
governance and funding, in a selection of 32 cases. It includes a set of
policy recommendations as a basis for building the shared understanding
that is necessary to develop effective and sustainable international
research data networks.
