Fireside Conversations with Rosie Hicks
Join
our fireside chat series featuring seasoned leaders from research data
infrastructures (RDI) as they share hard‑won insights on building,
running, and sustaining reliable data ecosystems. Each session will
uncover practical lessons for long-term sustainability governance,
federated services, community buy-in, and long‑term sustainability –
designed to inspire the current and future RDI leaders.
The 45-minute interviews, held by Najla Rettberg, Coordinator of Base4NFDI, will engage with timely topics, for example:
- Sustainability: Transitioning from project to permanent operating models
- Community Buy-In: Enhancing user engagement and uptake
- Governance: Finding the right fit when it comes to business models and financing approaches
- Long-Term Impact & Scalability: The role of digital sovereignty and AI
At our next Fireside event, Rosie Hicks,
CEO of the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), will share her
insights on 18 June 2026 at 10h CEST (8h UTC
+2).
