This Webinar reports back on the International Data Week (Denver, USA, 11-17 September 2016) with a particular focus on the eighth Plenary of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), which took place from 15-17 September 2016 as part of International Data Week. The Plenary brings together more than 400 RDA members for a week of working together in groups to further international issues around data sharing. RDA members present newly released outputs and how existing outputs, e.g. from the Data Citation Working Group, have been adopted in other organisations. Speakers: Several Australian attendees present their impressions and take-away messages from the Plenary, highlighting individual sessions, new adoptable outputs created by RDA groups, and other aspects of interest to people interested in the RDA.
