Data Stewards to the rescue, please!
According to experts, the world needs Data Stewards. Estimates say, that in Europe alone 500.000 will be needed over the coming years. Research & education networks are contributing to make that happen.

Clearing the path to seismological data
The EOSC-hub project is establishing a single contact point for European researchers to access and use resources for advanced data-driven research in fields such as seismology.
Finnish researchers develop robot reporters
The Finnish News Agency STT has made 2.7 million news articles available for researchers developing new language technology using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Connected supercomputers to boost European science and innovation
A new pre-exascale supercomputer in Finland will be tenfold faster compared to today’s fastest European supercomputer
Creating a playground for Finnish data centre students
The university of Kajaani, Finland, offers a specialized program on data centre education, supported by the Finnish R&E network
Integrating the data of life – to determine the appropriate drug
Storing and analysing genomic data at the scale of a million people and connecting this data with other resources – such as data on lifestyle and disease history – will transform our understanding of how diseases can be cured through individualised treatments.
Private weather observations to be integrated into forecasting
Observations from the “Internet of things”, such as intelligent cars, phones, buildings and personal weather stations added to the mix can provide detailed information on local to hyper-local meteorological phenomena.
Teaching researchers to write better code
As research becomes increasingly data driven, more and more researchers need tailor-made software for their research projects. The CodeRefinery project is training them to code.
Protecting the research & education sector against cyber attacks
As cyber attacks increase steadily in frequency and scale, the importance of defending ones own network against attackers increases as well. That is why many R&E networks have a Computer Emergency Response Team, CERT, to handle security incidents.
