Bursary applications open for CaSDaR’s Data Steward Conference 2026
Over the past year, CaSDaR has been working to strengthen recognition of the role of Data Steward and build a connected UK-wide community. This residential conference on the 17th-18th November 2026 provides an opportunity to reflect on progress and contribute to what comes next. We’re keen to support in-person attendance of practitioners, such as librarians, archivists, data managers, and technical staff, through providing bursaries of up to £320pp for travel and accommodation at CaSDaR's Data Steward Conference on the 17th-18th November 2026 at the Midland Hotel in Manchester.. Our bursaries were undersubscribed last year so we’d fully recommend people applying for these. We will handle all of the administration of booking - all you need to let us know are your requirements.

Data Steward Stories: Dr Agnes Jasińska (Digital Curation Centre) 
CaSDaR is committed to promoting recognition for individuals who fulfil Data Stewardship activities within their role, often going above and beyond in this capacity, and to providing an evidence base of what Data Stewardship look like in the UK research ecosystem. Our Data Steward Stories sessions provide an opportunity to share these with the community and empower individuals to seek recognition for their work. In this Data Stewards Stories session, Dr James Steele provided an overview of his career in supporting data stewardship from a holistic perspective, from navigating research dissemination to the appropriate use of statistics. James also shared insights into how his commitment to evidence-based decisions and research integrity has shaped his career trajectory.

CaSDaR Contributes to Portuguese Data Stewards Network Session on Electronic Research Notebooks 
In March 2026, CaSDaR was pleased to contribute to a recent event on the Portuguese Data Stewards Network (RPDS), organised through the Re.Data initiative. The event focused on Electronic Research Notebooks (ERNs) and explored their role in supporting effective research data management, reproducibility, and open science practices. As part of the event, Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza (CaSDaRs PI) delivered a presentation exploring how electronic research notebooks can enhance data capture, organisation, and reproducibility in research workflows. The talk highlighted the role of ERNs in supporting FAIR data practices, enabling structured and well-documented research outputs, and facilitating integration with wider digital research infrastructures.
