BioMedData Deliverable D3.3 - Post graduate curriculum for Data Stewards in Norway within the natural sciences

There is a growing need for a post-graduate Data Steward curriculum in Norway due to the increasing demand for professionals with expertise in managing and curating data in both academia and industry. Many job advertisements for data steward positions require specialised knowledge in scientific fields, as well as a range of other skills related to policy, research support, and infrastructure.  BioMedData  is working to address this need by developing programs and initiatives to support the education and professional development of data stewards in Norway. 

These efforts aim to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage and utilise data in a variety of settings, thus contributing to the advancement of research and innovation.

This curriculum is the first draft for a post master or PhD certification to bring the additional necessary data stewardship skills to professionals with relevant domain knowledge in a targeted and flexible approach.
