Dear DDI Community,

Dear members of the MPAWG,

 

Following the Scientific Board’s approval of the proposal for a Working Group on Metadata Publication and Access (MPAWG), I’m pleased to invite you to our first meeting:

 

📅 Wednesday, September 24, 2025

🕓 4:00 p.m. CEST (Berlin, UTC+2)

📍 via Microsoft Teams

 

You can find the proposal with the work plan and the current list of members here:

Proposed Agenda:

- Member introductions: interests and expectations, work plan discussion
- Organizational matters: chairperson selection, collaboration tools, meeting frequency
- Coordination with the Developers Group
- Planning for MPAWG@EDDI2025: in-person meeting and lightning talk

I’m excited to get started and look forward to collaborating with all of you—whether you’re already part of the group or planning to join us at the first meeting!

 

Warm regards,  
Knut Wenzig
