At Wageningen University and Research, data stewardship differs from other Universities. There is a community of 150 embedded data stewards spread across all research groups. Each research group has a data steward that spends a couple of days a month in this role. How did we set up this community? What does the community look like from an organisational perspective? How do we foster interaction between the data stewards? What are the pros and cons of this approach to data stewardship? These questions will be answered during this interactive workshop.
