The annual REDCap Africa Symposium is an event where REDCap administrators and users from Africa gather for technical discussions, use case demonstrations and networking opportunities.

We are pleased to announce the DS-I Africa REDCap Workshop 17-18 October 2023, Cape Town South Africa.

This session will introduce the NIH STRIDES Initiative and NIH Cloud Lab, two programs run by the National Institutes of Health to reduce the economic and process barriers that prevent researchers from accessing commercial cloud services.

FAIR principles are abstract in nature, and harbour contextual complexities such as country-specific data protection laws and highly technical but broad guidelines.

We are pleased to bring to you the DS-I Africa Webinar titled Persistent Identifiers. Speakers from the organizations ROR, ORCID and DataCite will provide an overview of  PID’s and how to implement them in the research life cycle.
