Research Data Conference 2026

The Swiss Research Data Support Network (SRDSN) invites open research data specialists, data stewards, research software engineers, and researchers who work with research data and develop research software to submit proposals for our upcoming conference. The conference with the title “Research Data in practice - what is the state-of-the-art?” aims to bridge the gap between local operational challenges and global strategic initiatives. We seek contributions that explore best practices for support services, the professionalization of data stewards and research software engineers, navigating the rise of artificial intelligence within data management, as well as the development of robust infrastructures that balance openness with security. Join us to discuss how we can collectively foster reproducible and responsible science through sustainable institutional commitment.

We invite submissions related to (but not limited to) the following areas:

1. Research data support in practice
2. Research Software
3. Research data professionals as data stewards, data managers, software engineers
4. Open Science & Open Research Data
5. FAIR data & quality
6. Research data infrastructures
7. Policies, compliance & funder requirements
8. Artificial Intelligence & Data-Intensive Research
