In this webinar, you can learn about the Barcelona Declaration (what it is, who is signing it, and why) and the role that Open Science infrastructures can play in supporting the Declaration. There will be a presentation by the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS) where you’ll be introduced to the entire SCOSS family of open infrastructures, featuring the latest members: Research Data Alliance (RDA) and Software Heritage.
