Slides of the Presentation at the "Data Steward goes Germany" workshop in Dresden, Germany on 25-26 September 2023. In the context of a research institution, a Data Steward assumes a position of paramount importance, as it directly contributes to the efficient management and maximisation of the institution's valuable research data assets. The presence of a skilled and transformative Data Steward becomes instrumental in overcoming the silos that tend to emerge within institutions, allowing for the seamless integration and coordination of data-related efforts across various departments and disciplines. By bridging these silos, the Data Steward plays a crucial role in promoting the principles of open science and fostering a collaborative research environment. However, many institutions need help comprehending the precise nature and scope of the Data Steward role. This lack of clarity often leads to ambiguity in identifying skills and expertise. Additionally, integrating the Data Steward position within the organisational structure is also conducted heterogeneously across institutions due to the need for a well-defined framework for the Data Steward's responsibilities and reporting lines, which may hinder their ability to realise their transformative potential. Therefore, some aspects are crucial and need further discussion in this context, such as 1) The need to embed Data Stewardship into a strategic management position within the institution organigram, 2) The importance of the cross-cutting multidisciplinary competencies, 3) The essential requirement for a certain degree of research experience and 4) The project management skills.
