The Hungarian node of RDA (called HRDA) as an entity has been established at the time of the application to the call from RDA Europe. The priority in Hungary is to foster skills and knowledge around Research Data Management (RDM), especially at the institutional and funder’s levels, therefore promoting the creation of specific policies. HRDA also aims at providing a discussion forum on RDM for the interested parties, like the researchers, IT and other professionals, librarians/archivists, to build bridges between these often unconnected communities, and help and consulting for the preparation of research proposals regarding RDM.
