Coordination Hub
The Coordination Hub, the beating heart of the FRDN, holds the reins of daily governance while diligently crafting a concrete policy plan, breathing life into actionable roadmaps

About the Coordination Hub
The Coordination Hub is the governing body responsible for managing the daily operations of the FRDN, which stands for the Flemish Research Data Network. Alongside the FWO coordination members, the hub is comprised of four elected core members and the chairs of various working groups. It collaborates closely with the case handler of the Open Science dossier at the Department of Economy, Science, and Innovation (EWI).
The primary objective of the Coordination Hub was to refine the FRDN's strategy and translate it into a tangible policy plan that would serve as the foundation for creating detailed roadmaps. This plan would guide the network in its future endeavors and initiatives.
