    Meeting objectives
    During this meeting we will officially launch this initiative as a formal Interest Group. During the meeting, we will explain the planned activities for the first 12 months:

    Launch the official RDA Interest Group.

    Prioritise topics and define deliverables. 

    Formalise task groups, and start working (and reporting) on prospective new outcomes.

    Initiate the organisation of webinars to promote the work of the Interest Group.

    Communicate and align with various stakeholder groups, initiatives and projects within and outside the RDA, thus fostering synergies on professionalising data stewardship.

    We will focus on the following challenges (identified at P14 and P15): 

    A business case for data stewardship

    Data stewardship terminology

    The integration of data stewardship across an organisation

    Job profiles for data stewards

    Training for data stewards

    Career tracks for data stewards

    Networking and knowledge exchange

    Certification

    The expected output will be:

    A concrete plan of action – with a clear division of tasks and commitment of the community – to contribute to solving the identified challenges in professionalising data stewardship.
