SUMMARY:Developing Career Options for Data Stewards (In Person & Online) #LondonEdition
DESCRIPTION:Registration Links\n\nRegister to join in person\nRegister to join online \n\nOverview\nJoin us for one of two participatory research events exploring the future of data stewardship. In collaboration with the Research Data Alliance’s Data Steward Careers Track Working Group\, the University of Sheffield Library and CaSDaR are bringing together people from across the sector to co-create Data Steward personas. Bursaries are available for in-person attendance\, and this event is offered as a hybrid sessions. This event is one of two events run in collaboration with UCL’s Office for Open Science and Scholarship and STEP-UP. \nAs the volume and complexity of research data continue to grow\, so does the essential role of Data Stewards—professionals who ensure that data is shareable\, reusable\, and aligned with FAIR principles. Although many roles\, including librarians\, archivists\, Research Software Engineers (RSEs)\, research managers\, technicians\, and researchers routinely perform data stewardship activities\, the position of “Data Steward” remains under-defined and often under-recognised in many countries.  \nExisting work largely focuses on defining the responsibilities of Data Stewards and the skills and training required to succeed in these roles. However\, there is limited attention on establishing clear\, sustainable career pathways for Data Stewards. The RDA Data Steward Career Tracks Working Group (WG)\, part of the Research Data Alliance\, aims to address this gap by developing a systematic methodology for defining data steward personas and mapping potential career pathways for these roles.  \nThis hands-on workshop introduces the concept of employee personas—semi-fictional profiles that reflect the motivations\, needs\, and challenges of data stewards. Through discussion and collaborative activities\, participants will help shape practical profiles that organisations can use to enhance job design\, professional development\, training pathways\, and HR practices. \nThis event will bring together key stakeholders to contribute to the WG’s work by collaboratively developing Data Steward Personas. This work will deliver two major outcomes: stronger evidence to support the RDA’s methodology for developing Data Steward personas\, and a set of personas that will directly inform the collaborative groups’ work in defining the role\, establishing skills frameworks\, and shaping future career pathways\, and will provide a networking opportunity for attendees. \nThe session will begin with a brief introduction to the Working Group’s objectives\, followed by an interactive workshop. Lunch will be provided (for those attending in person) with opportunities for networking and informal discussion throughout.  \nTarget Audience / Prerequisites: \nThis workshop is suitable for individuals currently working in\, or closely connected to\, data stewardship—including librarians\, archivists\, RSEs\, research managers\, technicians\, researchers\, and established Data Stewards. It is especially relevant for those interested in shaping or understanding potential career trajectories for Data Stewards and contributing to the development of representative personas.  \nLocation Information\nWe are offering two hybrid events; one online on the 14th April 2026 and another at UCL on the 22nd April 2026\, as part of the London Open Science and Scholarship Festival 2026. Bursaries are available for in-person attendance\, and both events are offered as hybrid sessions (please note that the deadline for applying for bursaries for this event is the 15th April 2026). Please note that this event page is for the London Event on the 22nd April. If you wish to find out more about the Online Event on the 14th April click here. \nBursary Support\nIf you would like to apply for bursary to support your attendance\, then please click on this link to fill out the form. \nEthics Notice\nAs this workshop involves the collection of data that will be shared as an output\, ethical approval has been secured. We will request your consent at the start of the session.  \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Trusted Research for Repository/Data Managers
DESCRIPTION:Trusted Research supports the integrity of the system of international research collaboration\, which is vital to the continued success of the UK’s research and innovation sector.\n\n\n\nInternational research is vulnerable to misuse by organisations\, institutions and individuals who operate on behalf of nations that seek to undermine the prevailing system of international research collaboration. Trusted Research seeks to protect that system from being undermined by those who might seek to abuse the principles of open science and academic freedom for their own gain. \nTrusted Research is a joint National Protective Security Authority NPSA and National Cyber Security Centre NCSC campaign\, developed with academic institutions and endorsed by key bodies within the sector. It helps the UK’s world-leading academic sector continue to get the most out of international scientific collaboration whilst protecting intellectual property\, sensitive research and personal information from potential theft\, misuse\, or exploitation. It is run collaboratively with the sector and supports self-regulation and sector identification and ownership of risk. \nAll attendees must sign up with an institutional email address – any sign-ups via personal emails will be cancelled. \nPlease note: \n\nNo recording\, screenshots\, transcription\, AI assistants etc throughout the webinar.\nAll attendees should be physically located in the UK at the time of the webinar.\nNPSA/NCSC cameras will be off for the duration of the webinar.\nNo material presented will be shared with attendees post webinar\, but please see the NPSA and NCSC websites for information and resources.

DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of a set of stand-alone but interrelated workshops run by FIDELIS to explore different aspects of data reusability. Register here. \nIn this second training workshop\, we consider some legal and ethical aspects of data reusability. Through a series of talks and guided discussions we consider how data professionals are supporting and collaborating with researchers in research data management and sharing\, including support with the CARE Principles. We consider what repositories should be (better) aware of regarding the challenges that researchers face around data ownership and ethical challenges\, both as data depositors and potential data reusers. We look at what current projects are working on that aim to better inform researchers about how data has been used or can be (re)used\, including more complex data access and reuse conditions. \n

SUMMARY:CaSDaR's Funding Call Round 1: Q&A (2)
DESCRIPTION:We have created an additional Q&A online session to support applicants for CaSDaR’s Funding Call round 1 – come prepared with your queries!\n\n\n\nPart of the remit of CaSDaR is to provide an evidence base showing the value of embedding data stewardship into research workflows; we feel that a sustainable way of doing this is to fund data stewards in research organisations. CaSDaR has flexible funds allocated to enable development of projects\, forming an evidence base to display the relevance of introducing data stewards in the UK across multiple disciplines and organisations. \nWe have developed two types of grants that our community can apply for: \n\n£5k mini project funds – these are intended to be short-term projects to provide experience of Data Stewardship for individuals who would like to learn more about it as a career option; and\n£70 large project funds – these are intended to be longer term projects for individuals who are established in their careers\, and have a project that they are interested in developing to demonstrate the value of their work.\n\nCaSDaR’s Funding Call was launched on the 5th November 2025 with an online webinar. The webinar can be viewed on CaSDaR’s YouTube channel and the slides are also available. \nWe want to ensure that our community feel supported to apply for the funding opportunities\, so we’re inviting anyone who has queries to come to a Q&A session where we can provide some answers.
