CaSDaR Data Stewardship Training #4 – Mastering Metadata
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.

Data Steward Stories: Dr Agnes Jasińska (Digital Curation Centre) 
CaSDaR is committed to promoting recognition for individuals who fulfil Data Stewardship activities within their role, often going above and beyond in this capacity, and to providing an evidence base of what Data Stewardship look like in the UK research ecosystem. Our Data Steward Stories sessions provide an opportunity to share these with the community and empower individuals to seek recognition for their work. In this Data Stewards Stories session, Dr James Steele provided an overview of his career in supporting data stewardship from a holistic perspective, from navigating research dissemination to the appropriate use of statistics. James also shared insights into how his commitment to evidence-based decisions and research integrity has shaped his career trajectory.

EOSC EDEN project: Seminar on Digital Preservation
The EOSC EDEN project, an EU-funded initiative, is continuing its webinar series to share key results and insights from its work on advancing digital preservation strategies across Europe. At the heart of EOSC EDEN lies the ambition to develop a framework for identifying research data that should be prioritised for long-term digital preservation at both European and national levels. In this fourth seminar, we will present the findings from the survey run by EOSC EDEN between May and July 2025. The survey investigated current practices in digital preservation, and the guidance documents that inform these practices. Survey questions interrogated long-term preservation across different domains and organisation types, and identified issues that potentially affect how preservation and the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of digital data objects may change over time.
