The Careers and Skills for Data-driven Research (CaSDaR) Network+ is excited to announce the launch of its Funding Call, aimed at supporting and empowering Data Stewards across the UK research landscape. To mark this milestone, CaSDaR is hosting a dedicated online event to introduce the funding opportunity and engage the community in shaping its future.
In this Data Stewards Stories session, Dr James Steele will provide an overview of his career in supporting data stewardship from a holistic perspective, from navigating research dissemination to the appropriate use of statistics.
CaSDaR's Funding Call was launched on the 5th November 2025 with an online webinar. We 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'll answer your queries.
We have created an additional Q&A online session to support applicants for CaSDaR's Funding Call round 1 - come prepared with your queries!
The University of Southampton Research Data team have organised a range of fantastic online events for this year's International Love Data Week. This event features a talk by Matt Spitz Mahon at the University of Glasgow. The University of Glasgow has recently implemented petabyte scale, long-term storage for research data. In this talk, we present the features of the new storage and the timeline of implementation, and discuss considerations for our research data management service and open research agenda.
The UK Data Service (UKDS) is running a free in-person event, held in The Engine Room at the People's History Museum in Manchester. This event will support ECRs to develop their skills in communicating their research for translation into policy. This workshop offers practical tools and inspiring perspectives to help you take the next step, with attendance from stakeholders interested in policy engagement. Through sessions such as 'Stakeholder Speed-Dating', Panel Discussions, and Lightning Keynotes, this interactive workshop looks like a great opportunity for ECRs to learn how to translate their data into impact through policy.
Join us in the Sheldonian Theatre on Wednesday 11 February 2026 and find your perfect match when it comes to storing and sharing your research data. To coincide with the annual International Love Data Week, Research Data Management (RDM) support colleagues and services from the University of Oxford will be on hand for anyone wanting to learn more about how the University provides love and care for its valuable data collections. We will also be welcoming special guests to this year's event, and we will be joined by members of both the Trusted Research Environments Software Stewardship (TRESS) research project and the Careers and Skills for Data-driven Research (CaSDaR) network. This event will provide a valuable opportunity for Academic Researchers, Students, IT and Research Support teams, and any other interested parties, to be introduced to colleagues from the Bodleian Libraries, IT Services and Academic Division and beyond who are responsible for delivering the various Research Data Management services and platforms used at Oxford and support good practice in the UK sector more widely.

We’ll see some of the work people have been able to do with our data and share Jupyter Notebooks that can help you get started using the Library Data Lab in your research.
CHARTED is organising a session to engage with the dRTP community (research software, research data and research computing infrastructure professionals) in a discussion on what it means for training resources to be FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable - and to gather feedback on the questionnaire created to evaluate FAIRness of existing training resources. Once completed the questionnaire will also be linked to a set of recommendations and practical guides to help improve existing training resources.
