Target audience
Data stewards, data managers, policy makers, HR persons, funders and all other stakeholders that are interested to share their expertise in Data Stewardship, want to get updated about the work that is going on, and want to contribute to the next steps that will be taken. Although the main focus is for the Life Sciences domain, our work on the competencies and skills of the data stewards is rather generic and also useful for other disciplines. Therefore participants from other disciplines are very welcome to join.

Goal of the meeting
In a ZonMw- funded project where we are working on defining the profession, skills and training needs of Data Stewards in the life sciences. All the output of the project produced so far can be found on Zenodo. It is our ambition to produce tangible outputs, that can be used and implemented in the organisations. To achieve these goals it is crucial to get input from the community. In this way we make further steps in defining community-endorsed outcomes and decide together which next steps are needed to improve data stewardship function descriptions, capacity, visibility, recognition and training in the Netherlands. As a data steward, you will meet your peers, expand your network, and will be able to get insight in the current status of Data Stewardship in the Netherlands.
