Joyce Kao & Heidi Seibold were in Athens for the REWIRE kick-off- a EU-funded project making reproducible research a reality across Europe. And they found time for a photoshoot in the artistic lanes of Athens. This is DRA.

Here's what the DRA community has been reading this summer! 📚 We are always curious to know what our community is reading. So before we fully enter Autumn, we are sharing our community reading list, with the hope that you might share a few of the books you are reading!

Some Glimpses from Antalya! Ankita and Doaa spent three incredible days facilitating a communication strategy workshop for the MAIA Working Group- an international network of researchers exploring the intersection of AI and archaeology. A huge thank you to Chiara and the MAIA WG4 team!

In Sheffield for RSECon26? Come say hi to Danny and Raniere! The workshop may be online, but there’s a chance to meet the people behind it in person! As part of the RSECon26 satellite programme, DRA and UKRN held a practical session for Research Software Engineers on open and reproducible research.

The DRA bottle has arrived in Antalya! The bottle is here as Ankita and Doaa are facilitating a communication strategy workshop for the MAIA Working Group, bringing OSPARK's materials to a group of archaeologists and AI researchers. Where has the DRA bottle been with you?
