Workshop Agents of Change: Skills & Strategies for RDM Professionals, Hannover

This workshop will be offered twice within 2025 to help RDM professionals to

• define their own role & scope of work at their institutions or in their projects
• develop strategies to shape a FAIR data culture in science as change agents
• to network and grow in their role

In addition to existing programs such as Train the Trainer or technical training courses, this workshop fills a thematic gap with topics perceived as highly relevant by the data stewards and other RDM professionals surveyed in preparation of this course. This relevance is also reflected in current European initiatives (e.g. Minimal Viable Skillset for Data Stewards).
