The Research Data Alliance (RDA),  Interest Group on Agricultural Data (IDAG) and GODAN are pleased to invite you to the IGAD pre-conference meeting that will be held April 3-4, 2017 at the Faculty of Library and Information Science of the University of Barcelona. The event will take place before the 9th RDA Plenary Meeting, April 5-7, 2017.

The next pre-meeting will provide an opportunity to evaluate how the group has evolved during the last months, what are the latest developments and to focus on research data management and semantics. For that, and following the successful methodology applied at P7 in Tokyo (Japan), there will be organised a pre-meeting to showcase and discuss in the context of open and research data and with special attention to rice, wheat, other crops, agrisemantics and soil research data.
