Data stewardship professionalization

A national project to provide training and community resources for data professionals

Since 2025, I have joined the Open Science NL-funded project “National training and community platform for research data professionals” which runs from 2025 until 2028 within the Research Data Netherlands consortium, consisting of 4TU.ResearchData, DANS-KNAW, SURF and Health-RI.

This project consists of four work packages:

• WP1: Project communication and coordination
• WP2:
  • Developing a data steward curriculum and providing certification
  • Developing new data steward training
  • Teaching courses
  • Developing train-the-trainer materials
• WP3: Delivery of the platform
• WP4: Sustainability and governance of the platform

At the moment, my involvement is primarily in WP2. Feel free to check out the project proposal or get in toch with me about this project.
