Raising awareness among relevant stakeholders is critical for the success of any Research Data Management (RDM) initiative, as their participation and collaboration will be needed for the development and implementation of related policies and programmes. The UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), in its role as a partner institution of the LEARN Project, had as one of its missions to raise awareness and engage RDM stakeholders within Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). However, the task constituted a significant challenge due to the geographical dimensions of the region and the socio-cultural diversity within it. For that reason, ECLAC had to develop a strategy that involved several actions, including gathering information about the current state of LAC in regards to RDM; identifying relevant stakeholders; liaising with them to understand their needs and expectations, and planning targeted activities taking into account the particularities of people and institutions within the region. The first step was gathering information about past and current developments in RDM in LAC. This would lead to the identification of institutions, people and projects related to research data, in terms of data creation, management, preservation, access, and policy development. Due to the complexities in collecting information from such a large variety of countries – each one being a whole universe of people and organisations – six countries were selected as the starting point and main focus of research: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Information was gathered using freely-available publications in several formats, mainly institutional websites, and complemented by interviews with stakeholders when necessary. This initial approach allowed ECLAC to get a first overview of the RDM landscape in LAC. It could be established that – although isolated or relatively unknown – there are several initiatives from scientific communities and organisations related to the management of research data. One of the trends identified in the region is the promotion of the management of research data through national legal initiatives in the domain of access to scientific information. The most prominent case is Argentina, where the enactment of the law n° 26899 1 in 2013 set new requirements for individuals and organisations whose research is publicly funded and led to the creation of the National System of Repositories for both service providers and users alike. To help to address this, the RDM Team now recommends that faculty and department data experts should act as the primary …
