EOSC CZ – Who are Data stewards

The profession of Data Steward is still a fairly new type of job in the Czech Republic, although they seem to be a key component not only in research teams but also in central institutions (e.g. libraries).

In the Czech Republic, a community of Data Stewards has already been established, meeting several times a year for online and in-person gatherings and communicate regularly via the Discord platform to exchange updates and best practices. At the same time, some of its members are involved in testing and evaluating the outputs of the National Repository Platform (NRP), thus contributing to its improvement and more effective use.
