I’ve joined the network in its very early days, before it even had a name and when it was just, “let’s meet and discuss, who’s in?”. Now, I’m a member of the organizing committee, which sets up the bi-yearly meetings. Being a network member allowed me to gain great insights into what’s happening in other institutions or countries and how they tackle some challenges we also have to deal with. The network is an excellent platform for connections, knowledge exchange and skills development, and I'm really grateful for this.

I am Head of Open Research Data at HES‑SO, affiliated with the Vice Rectorate for Research and Innovation. Over the past two years, I have been an active member of the SRDSN network, which has provided valuable opportunities to exchange best practices, discuss challenges, and foster mutual learning. SRDSN is a crucial hub to stay at the forefront of research data support.
