Challenge topic 2

Professionalizing data stewardship in the NES domain

The challenge: NES domain Data Stewards, or those working in data stewardship roles, feel isolated, and lack formal recognition, relevant training, and career paths. By more clearly identifying those who perform these roles, describing the impact that domain data stewards can have, and discussing training and development needs, we can contribute to the development of a strong NES domain RDM expertise network.

International connection and cooperation is encouraged.
