As a data steward, I can support your research and save you precious time you can spend on your project.
Some examples of tasks that I can support you with are:
- Feedback on a data management paragraph and/or data management plan (e.g. for grant proposals)
- Developing and improving data management policies for your department/research group

Within RST I will bring extra effort to expanding and growing our pool of talented researchers and further develop the processes around grants, network and strategy.
Currently 5 PDEng programmes are running at the University of Twente (4 at ET, 1 at EEMCS). In my role as PDEng officer I am the first contact for PDEng trainees and support, advise the Graduate school, coordinator PDEng programmes and the PDEng programme directors, keep all information and statutes up-to-date, organize small events, and manage small/moderate projects.
