Data Champions at reNEW: Supporting Research Data Management

The reNEW Data Champions are dedicated volunteers who support researchers within their respective research groups, assisting them in finding resources that enhance their data management practices. Their primary role is to guide reNEW research groups in organizing, storing, and sharing data effectively, ensuring compliance with institutional policies, legal requirements, and best practices. Data Champions help streamline Research Data Management (RDM) processes by providing targeted support, making data more accessible, secure, and aligned with FAIR principles.

By emphasizing the FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—the Data Champions enable researchers to implement structured data management strategies that enhance the quality, accessibility, and longevity of their research outputs.
