EUDAT works directly with a wide range of research communities to deliver common data services to support and resolve their research data management challenges. To be successful in this ambitious initiative, EUDAT uses novel methods to involve all the stakeholders, both in the discussions to determine the required services, and in the process of designing, developing and implementing those services. These methods include involving communities in the core Research, Innovation & Development activities, known as EUDAT Core Communities, as well as collaborating with communities through specific data Pilots.
 
This booklet gives an overview of EUDAT’s 7 core communities and 24 data Pilots currently running.
