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

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.
