Data stewards, skills and training for Open Science and FAIR practices

Funds a coordination project that builds core curricula and career paths for data stewards and Open Science training across Europe.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

Data stewards, skills and training for Open Science and FAIR practices is a European Commission grant that funds a coordination project building core curricula and career paths for data stewards and Open Science training across Europe. The Commission expects to fund exactly one project from this topic's own funding line, running as a Coordination and Support Action rather than a research project i…

This topic funds a project that coordinates data-steward curricula across Europe, develops Open Science and FAIR-practice training for researchers at every career stage, and strengthens existing competence networks and centres. It targets the lack of well-defined career paths and recognition for data-steward and data-management skills in research.
