CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #2 – Data ethics and data protection

Online

Join us for the second session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, where we turn our focus to one of the most critical and complex areas of research data management: ethics, data protection, and the handling of sensitive data. As data stewards, navigating the legal, ethical, and institutional frameworks surrounding research data is an essential part of the role. This session will provide you with the knowledge and practical grounding to handle sensitive data responsibly, ensure compliance with data protection regulations, and uphold the rights and dignity of research participants. This training session will be run by Digital Curation Centre (DCC).

CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #4 – Mastering Metadata

Online

Join us for the fourth session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, in response to the growing need for practical metadata stewardship skills across the research landscape. Designed for Data Stewards and professionals supporting research data management, the session introduces approaches to efficiently clean, standardise, enrich, and transform metadata using tools such as OpenRefine. Participants will explore how metadata practices support FAIR principles, data sharing, repository ingest, and cross-disciplinary reuse. Through practical exercises and collaborative discussion, attendees will gain experience addressing real-world metadata challenges commonly encountered in research environments. This training will be run by the Digital Preservation Southampton.

CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #5 – Data Selection and Preservation

Online

Join us for the fifth session in the CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training series, where we turn our attention to two deeply interconnected pillars of responsible data stewardship: data selection and long-term preservation. In an era of ever-growing data volumes, knowing what to keep, how to keep it, and for how long is one of the most consequential decisions a data steward can make. Poor selection and preservation practices put research outputs at risk of being lost, inaccessible, or unusable over time — undermining both the scientific record and the investment made in collecting the data in the first place. This session will equip you with the frameworks, tools, and practical judgment needed to make sound decisions about data selection and to implement robust preservation strategies that stand the test of time. This training session will be run by Digital Curation Centre (DCC).

UKRN: Open Research: moving from individual recommendations to coordinated action – part 1

Online

This is the first of a six-part online programme, bringing together funders, publishers, infrastructure providers, researchers, and research professionals to drive coordinated cross-sector action and make open research a reality in the UK. This session explores research data planning and review, focusing on the upstream practices that shape how research data and materials are managed, shared, and reused across the research lifecycle. Using the recent Sustainable and TrAnsparent Research data (STAR) Study Report as a starting point, this session will bring together perspectives from across the sector to reflect on the report’s recommendations, paying particular attention to its concluding recommendation on the need for formalised open research review mechanisms.

CaSDaR’s Data Steward Stories: Stewarding data as a team

Online

The Research Data team at the University of Southampton describe how their roles complement each other. Effective research data stewardship is essential for any research-performing organisation, yet expecting a single individual to carry responsibility for every aspect of data stewardship is neither realistic nor sustainable. Successful data stewardship depends on collaboration, bringing together a range of expertise, perspectives, and skills. In this 75-minute edition of the Data Steward Stories webinar series, we will shine a spotlight on a team who supports research data stewardship within a large institution through collaborative working.

LMJU: Open Data Fortnight 2026 – Unlocking Research Potential Through Open Data

Online

Join us as we open the week with a showcase of LJMU’s commitment to open data, open research, and research integrity. Whether you’re new to open practices or a seasoned advocate, this session is designed to inspire and connect. In this session, Dr Davide Bruno will share how openly available research data has enabled him to conduct impactful Alzheimer's disease research without access to large clinical research groups or hospital-based datasets. By making use of established open research databases, he has been able to access valuable data resources, develop new research questions, and contribute to our understanding of dementia while significantly reducing the costs and barriers often associated with data collection.
