Data Stewards at the University of Vienna

Hello there! If you're looking for the University of Vienna Data Stewards, you've come to the right place. In addition to our awesome general Research Data Management team, univie employs four full-time data stewards and a data steward coordinator. The data stewards are embedded within their respective faculties or research centers and work to meet the diverse needs of employees and students. We help streamline data collection and storage pipelines, provide formal RDM training opportunities, answer questions, assist with data management plans, and facilitate communication throughout univie’s expansive infrastructure.  To find out more about each of the data stewards and the coordinator, check out our Meet the Data Stewards page. If you want to find out more about becoming a data steward, or if you have questions about univie's Data Steward Course, you can saunter over to the Becoming a Data Steward page. Finally, you can find a list of our univie training dates here!

Find our Data Stewards in the Wild 

There's nothing more exciting than seeing data stewards in the wild. Obviously, we spend a lot of time with our respective faculties, but we also travel quite a bit too. If you want to meet with us somewhere other than univie, here's where you can find us in the coming months. Schedule permitting, we'd love to come visit you too! Of course, you're always welcome in Vienna. We think the city and the university are delightful places to spend an afternoon!
