Slide deck for the May 18 2021 ELIXIR Webinar: towards professionalising data stewardship https://elixir-europe.org/events/elixir-webinar-towards-professionalising-data-stewardship As part of the National Programme Open Science (NPOS), the "Professionalising data stewardship in the Netherlands" report was recently published. This report provides arguments for urgent decisions and activities to ensure adequate data steward capacity in the Netherlands, in order to realise the ambitions for Open Science. In this webinar we will present the outcomes and recommendations of the project. Furthermore, we will indicate how this work, in particular the Data Stewardship Competency Framework, is contributing to activities in several Work Packages of ELIXIR-CONVERGE (https://elixir-europe.org/about-us/how-funded/eu-projects/converge).
