European Perspectives on Training Data Stewards (Skills4EOSC)

Lightning talk given at the IDCC 2025 conference in The Hague, Netherlands. The attached presentation summarises progress on developing a European data steward curriculum as part of the Skills4EOSC project.

Training for Data Stewards is necessary given that there is a need to professionalise Data Stewards within research performing organisations to advance Open Science skills. Training should be based on the identified skills and competencies that are required by Data Stewards. Given that Data Stewards work within different institutional and country context, this lightning talk will focus on how training can be developed that can be tailored for different contexts while still addressing the knowledge and skills required by entry level data stewards.
