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.
