The Fourth LEARN Workshop on Research Data will be hosted by ECLAC in Santiago, Chile on 27 October 2016. This event, titled “Implementation of policies and strategies in Latin America and the Caribbean”, is aimed at providing participants with an opportunity to learn about Latin American experiences in Research Data Management, including policy development and implementation.
