The unification of the effort: the Swedish university RDM network

The presentation offes an outline of the background of the Swedish National Data Service, a national collaborative network for research data management at Swedish universities, aimed at giving researchers and students direct access to needed help when it comes to finding and re-using research data, as well as structuring, organising and sharing data they have work with themselves. The presentation will feature the history and structure of the network, the shared effort involved in the collaboration, steps taken to secure a willingness to participate, and the structure of the local network access points at the different participating universities. The presentation will also introduce the next step in this process, the launch of the new portal Researchdata.se (scheduled for March 2025).
