Recently, our principal investigator’s work was recognised by our organisation, who put a spotlight on the development of CaSDaR in a recent issue of their magazine that had a focus on research culture initiatives.
The University of Southampton has a magazine called Re:Action that summarises the research and enterprise activities at the organisation. The winter issue of Re:Action had a focus on the initiatives and individuals that are helping create an environment where people can thrive: from addressing promotion inequalities amongst different groups, to increasing engagement among doctoral students, to enhancing recognition of research technical professionals.
They approached CaSDaR’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza, to see if she might be interested in talking about the development of the CaSDaR project, which is targeted towards developing reward and recognition for Data Stewards. Sami gave an excellent overview of why CaSDaR was developed and what we want to achieve. Furthermore, it’s brilliant that the work of Sami and the team is getting recognised like this by the organisation.
The story is available on page 30 of the magazine.
