Research Data in Transition: Infrastructure and Support at Lund University. An event that introduces the new Research Data Office (RDO), the growing network of data stewards, and the strategic initiatives at LU to help researchers meet these demands with confidence.

Lund University is currently strengthening its support for research data management through the new Research Data Office (RDO) and a university-wide network of data stewards at each faculty. This comes at a critical moment: funders and journals now require transparent and FAIR data handling, while new national mandates push for open access to research data by 2026.
