redundant and inefficient practices at various points in the data lifecycle. There is a widely recognised need to assist knowledge sharing between institutions and to do this in an increasingly structured way, by using (and where necessary refining) maturity models such as the DCC RISE. Equally, effective knowledge sharing can help reduce the gap between rich and poor institutions and between universities or research organisations in economically advantaged and disadvantaged contexts. Effective RDM practices can also make the process for sharing and reusing data more streamlined and efficient, thereby enabling research to be more efficient and driving greater impacts to be achieved out of research.<br>It is timely for actors in the various dimensions of such initiatives internationally to share their practical experiences, research and insights.</div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:"Droid Sans",sans-serif;vertical-align:top;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><br><h1 style="margin:8px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-size:22px;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;line-height:32px;color:rgb(45,53,142)"><strong style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top">Themes and Guidelines for Proposals</strong></h1>Please consult the call for presentations and posters for themes and guidelines for submissions: <a href="https://conference.codata.org/conference/Helsinki-CODATA-2019/call_for_presentations/" target="_blank" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(45,53,142)"><b>https://conference.codata.org/conference/Helsinki-CODATA-2019/call_for_presentations/</b></a></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:"Droid Sans",sans-serif;vertical-align:top;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><br><h1 style="margin:8px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-size:22px;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;line-height:32px;color:rgb(45,53,142)"><strong style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top">Workshop Programme</strong></h1>The event will start at 12:30 (TBC) on Sunday 20 October and will conclude at 18:00 (TBC) on Monday 21 October. the programme will feature at least two keynotes, parallel sessions of presentations on the workshop themes, and discursive workshop activities around the issues of benchmarking and maturity models for FAIR RDM in Institutions. Refreshments on both days and lunch on Monday 21 October will be provided.</div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:"Droid Sans",sans-serif;vertical-align:top;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><br><h1 style="margin:8px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-size:22px;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;line-height:32px;color:rgb(45,53,142)"><strong style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top">Registration Fees</strong></h1>In order to contribute towards our costs (conference management system, refreshment breaks and lunch on Mon 21 October), but also to deter spurious and speculative registrations, which on previous events have greatly added to our workload, the programme committee has agreed to charge a registration fee of 40 euros.</div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:"Droid Sans",sans-serif;vertical-align:top;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><br><h1 style="margin:8px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-size:22px;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;line-height:32px;color:rgb(45,53,142)"><strong style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top">Programme Committee</strong></h1></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:"Droid Sans",sans-serif;vertical-align:top;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><ul style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;list-style:none"><li style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 0px 19px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;background-image:url("http://www.codata.org/uploads/Main/list_white_box_blue_arrow.png");background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:0% 7px;line-height:26px">Jan Brase, University of Göttingen</li><li style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 0px 19px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:top;background-image:url("http://www.codata.org/uploads/Main/list_white_box_blue_arrow.png");background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:0% 7px;line-height:26px">Mercè Crosas, Harvard Universi
