4TU.ResearchData Working Groups

We support community-led working groups for community members to exchange knowledge and best practices for creating and reusing FAIR data.

In January 2021, we launched working groups for research data support professionals from the 4TU.ResearchData partner institutions. These working groups enable data stewards from the 4TU partner institutions (Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Twente) to connect, share experiences and develop resources to benefit the research community. We hope that initiatives and processes established in these working groups evolve over time, leading to the emergence of new working groups.

If you’re interested in joining one of our working groups, or if you have an idea for a group that you’d like to launch, please email researchdata@4tu.nl.
