Call for Applications for the 3rd Cohort of DRI Knowledge Exchange Fellows
The Computational Abilities Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) project aims to facilitate knowledge exchange (KE) and sustainable collaboration across the full range of UK Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) communities. CAKE is searching for KE fellows who will, supported through a CAKE fellowship, champion and enable knowledge exchange for a part of the DRI community. These KE fellows will be part of the CAKE network with the aim to learn more about how to do KE, assemble and exchange best practices, and thus enhance knowledge exchange in the DRI and computational science domain. They will also be offered the opportunity to help shape and lead the DRI KE community.

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.
