Goodbye and congratulations to Connie Clare

Marta Teperek March 16, 2022

“With great sad­ness the time has come to say good­bye to Con­nie Clare, who since Octo­ber 2020 has been the 4TU.ResearchData Com­mu­ni­ty Man­ag­er. As Direc­tor of 4TU.ResearchData, I have great­ly val­ued the work of Con­nie and enjoyed work­ing with her as a won­der­ful col­league and friend. Con­nie has spear­head­ed the cre­ation and growth of the 4TU.ResearchData com­mu­ni­ty, which now com­pris­es almost 200 mem­bers and con­tin­ues to grow. Even more impor­tant­ly, the com­mu­ni­ty is now cen­tre-stage to all our work at 4TU.ResearchData. I could not have wished for a more suc­cess­ful out­come in such a short time.

I would have loved to con­tin­ue work­ing with Con­nie for years to come. Sad­ly, the com­pli­ca­tions around Brex­it and tax treaties made it impos­si­ble for Connie’s work to be con­tin­ued from the UK.

At the same time, I couldn’t be hap­pi­er to hear about Connie’s new posi­tion. Con­nie will take up an excit­ing role as the Com­mu­ni­ty Devel­op­ment Man­ag­er at Research Data Alliance (RDA). Research Data Alliance is a thriv­ing inter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty of peo­ple (over 12,000 mem­bers!) who care about research data and who want to sup­port one anoth­er through col­lab­o­ra­tion. I am con­fi­dent that we will all con­tin­ue to col­lab­o­rate with Con­nie in her new role — Research Data Alliance is a cru­cial com­mu­ni­ty to be part of for 4TU.ResearchData.

So while it’s sad news that 4TU.ResearchData is los­ing Con­nie, I would like to con­grat­u­late her on this fan­tas­tic new oppor­tu­ni­ty.” — Mar­ta Teperek

A ‘thank you’ from Connie

“It has been an utmost plea­sure to build, work with and learn from the 4TU.ResearchData com­mu­ni­ty. I express my sin­cere grat­i­tude to all of the researchers and data sup­port pro­fes­sion­als who have con­tributed to the com­mu­ni­ty’s growth and devel­op­ment, and who have sup­port­ed 4TU.ResearchData’s mis­sion and vision dur­ing the past 18 months. 

From estab­lish­ing work­ing groups and work­shops, to organ­is­ing com­mu­ni­ty calls and pro­mot­ing FAIR datasets, togeth­er we’ve achieved won­der­ful results. And, I’ve felt proud and priv­i­leged to be part of such a dynam­ic and vibrant net­work. Thank you to all com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers for mak­ing my expe­ri­ence so enjoy­able!

Whilst I’m sad to leave 4TU.ResearchData, I’m excit­ed to join RDA as the Com­mu­ni­ty Devel­op­ment Man­ag­er from August this year. I’ve been a mem­ber of RDA since 2019 and it’s a community–driven organ­i­sa­tion that’s very close to my heart. I look for­ward to the new chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties that lie ahead, as well as the pos­si­bil­i­ty for fur­ther col­lab­o­ra­tion with 4TU.ResearchData in the future.” — Con­nie Clare

Join the team

We would like to ensure that we have a new com­mu­ni­ty man­ag­er in place as soon as pos­si­ble. There­fore, please check out the vacan­cy for 4TU.ResearchData Com­mu­ni­ty Man­ag­er — clos­ing 10 April 2022.
