• Content: Action line B5.2 of the ORD Action Plan aims to promote data stewardship and ORD specialists at all higher education and research institutions. Data stewardship is the focus of the first implementation step. Data stewardship encompasses the management and oversight of an organization's data assets with the goal of providing access to research data. As such, it is the link between researchers and support entities in the form of IT, libraries, and infrastructure providers. Data stewards take an active advisory role for researchers and serve as the first point of contact for all questions regarding (open) research data, e.g. data backup, long-term preservation, or data management.
   
• Target Group: The call is open to all institutions eligible for funding.
   
• Funding Duration: until the end of 2024
   
• Call for proposals: July 1, 2022 - October 1, 2022.
  • Institutions were invited to describe their ideas and intentions for building up data stewardship at their institution in the form of a (short) action plan. More detailed information on the call are available in the Guide for Action Line B5.2 (German, French).
