Owing to a number of requests,\u00a0abstract submission<\/a>\u00a0for the Workshop has been extended one (very) last time to Sunday, 1 March. To enable people to already start planning their journeys, abstracts received thus far will now be reviewed and the authors notified of acceptance.<\/b><\/p>\n This\u00a0Workshop<\/a>\u00a0is convened by WDS, in collaboration with the\u00a0Brazilian Academy of Sciences<\/a>, the\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo Research Foundation<\/a>, and the\u00a0Research Data Alliance<\/a>\u00a0(RDA). It builds on the success of the\u00a0First Latin America and Caribbean Workshop<\/a>\u00a0in 2018 that explored the data landscape in the region to understand the opportunities and challenges, and discussed how data initiatives could be supported by WDS. The Second Workshop will continue discussions on data management best practices for data repositories and on new trends and perspectives for scientific data systems. However, there will also be a greater emphasis on analyzing and finding concrete solutions to the technical, political, and infrastructure issues identified during the First Workshop.<\/p>\n We invite\u00a0all researchers\u00a0and scientists\u00a0currently involved in scientific data management initiatives in the Latin American and the Caribbean region to\u00a0present their experiences, research, operations, and projects or programmes\u00a0at the Workshop.
