As data volumes grow, so does the need for data stewards.

Yet in the UK, data stewards remain under-defined and under-recognised.

CaSDaR aims to address this gap by:

• defining the role of data stewards within the UK research landscape
• advocating for their recognition and representation across institutions

This event will:

• present the current landscape of data stewardship in the UK
• introduce the mission and goals of CaSDaR
• gather your input on what support and recognition you need
• launch the first flexible funding opportunity as part of this NetworkPlus to support data stewardship initiatives
