Slide deck for the presentation by Mijke Jetten on "Professionalising the data steward roles in the Netherlands FAIR data stewardship capacity building & the role of communities", 12 July 2021.

This presentation is part of the July 12-13 2021 RDMF21: Data Stewardship in Research Institutions event.

Theme: Coordinating support for research data stewardship - generic and disciplinary roles

RDMF 21 will focus on institutional data stewardship roles, and how national-level communities of practice can help institutions coordinate them e.g. on the following -

• Delivering policy change on RDM, FAIR and open science across the organisation - working with policy stakeholders to define policies and compliance requirements; ensuring capacity among support staff to advise research stakeholders on adopting data workflows, tools, standards and infrastructure.  
• Providing support, training and consultancy to enable change in research workflows and practices - working with research stakeholders to support the adoption of data workflows, tools, standards and infrastructure; working with infrastructure stakeholders to facilitate software and hardware services and technical infrastructure. 
• Liaising between policy stakeholders and data centres, repositories or other research data infrastructures to deliver compliant services - working with infrastructure stakeholders to assess needs for software and hardware services and technical infrastructure; working with policy stakeholders to define policies and compliance requirements.
