Earlier in 2020 CODATA, GO FAIR, RDA and WDS outlined their joint commitment to work together to optimise the global research data ecosystem and to identify the opportunities and needs that will trigger federated infrastructures to service the new reality of data-driven science.

Today, 24th November 2020 at 14:00-15:00 CET (13:00-14:00 UTC), EOSCsecretariat.eu has organised a webinar entitled "Webinar for EOSC constituency on Data Together", featuring representatives from these four international data organisations who will talk about collaboration and joint activities, the first example being the COVID-19 appeal and actions.
