From National Strategy to Global Practice: RDA National PID Strategy IG Case Study Updates

The RDA National PID Strategy group shows how national PID strategies can feed into shared practice worldwide. Have you ever wondered how people in different regions - speaking different languages - are promoting, adopting, and implementing PIDs around the world? PIDs connect everything together, which requires significant collaboration across all research sectors and stakeholders. Ultimately, local resources and policies are required for a collaborative response to PIDs, which typically takes place at the regional or national levels - even though PIDs are essentially international endeavors. Without these national or regional approaches, PIDs remain difficult to implement and scattershot in their adoption. As countries continue to develop and implement National PID Strategies at varying speeds and with varying levels of sophistication and community buy-in, this session offers an opportunity to reassess the global landscape and reflect on collective progress. In this session, you will hear a structured overview of recent developments in national PID strategies around the world, highlighting trends, challenges, and lessons learned. A particular focus will be given to three perspectives from Canada, Australia, and Czechia. We will each outline the current state of the PID strategy in our own national contexts, including policy drivers, governance structures, implementation progress, and key challenges encountered. You will learn about the barriers and issues that countries have faced when developing a strategy, and how and why some have progressed faster than others. Together, these case studies will illustrate diverse approaches to coordination, stakeholder engagement, and integration of PID services within research ecosystems.
