Current state of data stewardship tools in life science Publication by: Anna Aksenova, Anoop Johny, Tim Adams, Philip Gribbon, Marc Jacobs, Martin Hofmann-Apitius: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza, is speaking at Lab Innovations 2025! 5 CPD-accredited stages in the conference this year focus on: 🌱 Sustainability | ⚙️ AI & Automation | ✅ Quality & Compliance | 🧬Biotechnology | 🧠 Skills & Development You can claim your free conference pass here: invt.io/1wxbncvjesi

This paper, by Dr. Stefaan G. Verhulst, outlines the core competencies required for effective data stewardship, explains the distinction between data stewards and Chief Data Officers, and details the intermediary role of stewards in bridging gaps between data holders & external stakeholders [contd]

In this webinar we will describe the development of the project grants, provide more detail about both of the grants, give an overview of the application and review process including the projected timeline, and answer any questions that you may have.

Data stewardship involves the careful management, preservation, and sharing of research data throughout its lifecycle—from creation to reuse.

SharkCat, accompanied by Dr. Nicola Knight, has been enjoying his time in Australia! This time at the #Eresau2025! Sharkcat (in 2D form) had a great time networking with all the other plushies that were at the event, particularly his new koala friend from National Computational Infrastructure! 🐨🦈

We are excited to announce the launch of our Funding Call, aimed at supporting Data Stewards across the UK research landscape and creating an evidence base for the roles and responsibilities of data stewardship. 🎟️ Registration: lnkd.in/gVZuNYS3

📅 Call open: 13 October – 15 December 2025 💻 Q&A Webinar: 11 November 2025 (recording from the first session available on the BioFAIR website) For more information and to apply, click here: biofair.uk/pathfinder-p...

Things are heating up in the Data Villa… 🔥 Cassie from CaSDaR is giving SharkCat from Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) the ultimate side-eye, 👀 and honestly, who can blame her? Cassie’s all about transparency and reproducibility, and she won't have it!

On 12 March 2025, more than 35 participants from across the UK gathered at Loughborough University for a one-day community workshop exploring the future of polymer data. 📖 Learn more about our collaboration with Loughborough University: www.psdi.ac.uk/collaborator...

There is still time to register for our upcoming PSDI webinar taking place this Thursday: www.psdi.ac.uk/event/webina...

@biofair.bsky.social will fund 8 – 12 projects across the scientific domains. Successful projects will receive up to £100,000 funding for 12 months. Don’t miss this chance to help shape the future of UK life sciences research infrastructure: biofair.uk/pathfinder-p...

Hidden identifiers occur when datasets, versions, or entities aren’t clearly labelled or linked through persistent, machine-readable IDs.

Reproducibility is the foundation of reliable science, and Data Stewards make it possible. ✅ Structured Metadata – They ensure datasets are described clearly, so others can interpret and reuse them accurately.

By addressing shared institutional needs, CaSDaR is working to establish clear career paths and meaningful recognition for data stewards, while fostering a collaborative, supportive community.

Here’s what you can expect to access soon: 🌟 Training & Career Development 🌟 Publications & Reports 🌟 Resource Repository 🌟 Videos & Presentations Know more: casdar.ac.uk/resources/

We don't want to toot our own horns, but our Cassie stickers are all the rage all over the UK (okay, slight exaggeration..slight) If you got yourself a Cassie sticker, show it off in the comment section below! :D
