Join us for one of two participatory research events exploring the future of data stewardship.
About this Event

In collaboration with the Research Data Alliance’s Data Steward Careers Track Working Group, the University of Sheffield Library and CaSDaR are bringing together people from across the sector to co-create Data Steward personas. Bursaries are available for in-person attendance, and this event is offered as a hybrid sessions. This event is one of two events run in collaboration with UCL's Office for Open Science and Scholarship and STEP-UP.

This hands-on workshop introduces the concept of employee personas—semi-fictional profiles that reflect the shared motivations, needs, and challenges of Data Stewards. Through discussion and collaborative activities, participants will help shape practical profiles that organisations can use to enhance job design, professional development, training pathways, and HR practices.

This workshop is suitable for individuals currently working in, or closely connected to, Data Stewardship—including librarians, archivists, research managers, technicians, researchers, and established Data Stewards.

The workshop is from 11.00-3.00 in Mappin Hall at the Sir Frederick Mappin Building, S1 3JD, with refreshments and lunch provided. If you would like to apply for bursary to support your attendance, then please click on this link to fill out the form.
