Over the past two years, with over 100 pages by 159 contributors, RDMkit has developed into a useful and inspiring open resource platform to learn about Research Data Management (RDM) topics and explore relevant tools. As a community, we want to make sure that the RDMkit content is regularly revised, improved, and further developed for better learning of what data management entails and how it works. With that, we would like to invite current and future contributors to join us at RDMkit contentathon!

The contentathon will be an in-person event (maximum capacity of 30 people), therefore in-person presence is highly recommended and appreciated. There is an option to participate virtually for those who are unable to travel, but the technical support for a hybrid event will be limited. During the three-days event, the RDMkit editors will be available to assist you in adding new content and answer any queries to help improve current pages on RDMkit.

The contentathon will be a great opportunity to share knowledge and ideas with people who work in similar domains to yourself. As a page contributor, you will be acknowledged at the bottom of the RDMkit page(s) you work on.

As part of ELIXIR, we will follow the ELIXIR Code of Conduct (CoC) for this event. The ELIXIR Code of Conduct has been created to ensure that people at ELIXIR events can interact with each other in a respectful and safe environment. It provides ways you can voice your concern if you believe there has been a breach to the CoC.

The preliminary agenda can be found here.

Deadline for registration: 7th May 2023
