Magdalena Szuflita-Żurawska becoming a member of the key advisory body of RDA

From January 2025, Magdalena Szuflita-Żurawska has been a member of the Organisational Advisory Board (OAB) within the Research Data Alliance (RDA). This is an international social organization founded in 2013, whose mission is to create modern infrastructure supporting the free sharing of data and conducting research based on its analysis. RDA also serves as a platform for exchanging experiences and ideas in this field.

Currently, the organization gathers over 14,000 members from 152 countries, including individuals, libraries, research institutions, and business representatives. Gdańsk University of Technology, a member of RDA since 2017, actively participates in its activities.

The Organisational Advisory Board is one of RDA’s advisory bodies and consists of representatives of organizational members. The main responsibilities of OAB include:

  • providing organizational and operational support and giving recommendations to the Secretary-General,
  • cooperating with the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) in creating and supervising working groups,
  • promoting RDA recommendations among members and encouraging their implementation,
  • organizing plenary sessions and other informational initiatives.

Magdalena Szuflita-Żurawska’s involvement in OAB is not only an honor but also an opportunity to strengthen the position of Gdańsk University of Technology and Poland on the international stage in the field of open science and data management.
