Description

Research data management comes more and more into the focus of daily scientific workflows. This is driven by the increasing demand and focus on data-driven science and open science policies. Here, data steward or data experts or data champions or data managers, which ever role title is used, they play a crucial role in the research data management processes to achieve the envisioned goals of FAIR and open science.
Within this presentation we would like to introduce the institutional approach of GEOMAR's established data steward concept. We shortly highlight the different roles involved in research data management, such as data manager, data steward and data curator. And we will specifically describe the role of our domain-specific data stewards and their embedding into research projects but also the active partricipitation and exchange within the individual communities locally or across topics and domains such as within the Helmholtz Association or the Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) and the federal state initiative FDM-SH.
