📅 Date: 10th July 2025
⌛ Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
🌍Location: Virtual Event, Online
This Webinar, presented by Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza, explores the growing importance of data availability and management in modern research. The session will also introduce the emerging role of the Data Steward, a new type of digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) who ensures data quality and usability throughout its lifecycle. The webinar also unveils CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research), a new four-year initiative designed to support and empower Data Stewards as central figures in the research lifecycle.

Dr. Andrew Porter, Research Integrity and Training Adviser, Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute talks about his experience our event: How to solve a problem like Electronic Research Notebooks: a community ERN discussion
Thank you for your words, Dr. Porter!
That’s the question that sparked Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza's journey. She has spent over a decade exploring how Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) can transform scientific research.

We place great value in data, but the current investment in the time and resources to drive forward data excellence is sorely lacking, and best practice like FAIR cannot be implemented without investing in data stewards.

Presentation by Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza on "Not all heroes wear capes! Data Stewards: The unsung heroes of the Research Data Lifecycle" for Paperless Labs Abstract: The amount of data generated by research, is growing at an exponential rate. And yet, so much of this data is unusable, due to the lack of expertise, tools, and resources for effective data management. Data Stewards are the key to bridging the gap between data generation and reuse, as they have a fundamental role that ensures the quality, accuracy, accessibility and longevity of data across the entire data lifecycle.

Dr James Gebbie-Rayet & his research team are poised to revolutionize the Biomolecular Simulation Research field by addressing long-standing, systemic challenges.
James explains, ‘We often don’t know what simulations have been done before. If we had a database of simulations, we’d stop duplicating work and start building on what already exists.’
