The Croatian RDA node will be created within the organizational unit of the University of Zagreb Computing Center (SRCE) responsible for the coordination and development of the Digital Academic Archives and Repositories (DABAR) community and related national data services and infrastructures. The main priority will be building capacity and skills in higher education and research libraries to engage in RDA activities, manage research data and support researchers on their institutions. The Croatian node is planning to work closely with the community, involving representatives from each university library as “local” RDA contact point and potential members of RDA IGs and WGs.
