RDM professionals, such as data stewards, research data managers and data curators, play a key role in realizing the goals of FAIR data and Open Science – and are thereby Agents of Change.

What will you learn?

This workshop is for you if you are a Data Steward or RDM professional (e.g. Research Data Manager, Data Curator) from any discipline and if you want to be able to

clearly define and communicate your role
analyse your stakeholder network and set goals collaboratively
evaluate the impact of planned changes and create an action plan
apply stress management techniques and learn how to stay healthy and motivated
network with colleagues and build a support network

In addition to existing programs such as Train the Trainer or technical training courses, this workshop fills a thematic gap with topics perceived as highly relevant by the data stewards and other RDM professionals surveyed in preparation of this course. This relevance is also reflected in current European initiatives (e.g. Minimal Viable Skillset for Data Stewards).
