7. aparsen.eu #APARSEN The Distributed Research Association The Helmholtz Association is in the process of setting up a data federation, which will profit from both knowledge and relationships in its local setup and its inter-federation with similar European and global infrastructures. Not least thanks to the APARSEN work, the insistence on long term integrity and trustworthiness are an indispensable part of the requirements, today. We will continue to work on APARSEN's themes in association with many of the partners, as well as with other global peers in the context of the Research Data Alliance. Considering the large overlap in membership of APARSEN and RDA, we expect that RDA will develop to be our virtual centre of excellence. We will continue to use and introduce APARSEN results in such contexts as the Science Europe working group on research data, and other bodies developing related policy.
