The Flemish Research Data Network (FRDN) develops the preconditions necessary to motivate and enable researchers from Flemish research performing organizations to exchange and reuse (FAIR) research (meta) data. This contributes to the integrity, quality, and efficiency of research and thus to accelerating innovation in society. The FRDN is a network of 36 Flemish research performing organizations who work together on Open and FAIR data. Important partners are the Flemish funding agencies and the regional nodes of European Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).

Within the Network, we have a community: The Knowledge Hub. It is a self-learning community where data stewards, RDM support staff and data professionals with an interest in RDM can come together, share information and resources on RDM as well as open and FAIR data. Launched by FRDN in February 2021, it aims to bring together domain-specific expertise of different organizations to create a Knowledge Hub that supports all researchers.
