Portrait of Martin Wegmann (University of Bern)

I am Data Steward in the Open Science Team of the University of Bern. I see great potential in the SRDSN as a space to learn from each other across the very diverse ORD efforts we have in Switzerland as well as strengthening the idea of Open Research Data for Good at an international scale.

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 joined the SRDSN in 2023 as part of the Open Science Team at PH Zug. Thanks to the SRDSN, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with people from other universities and colleges. Exchanging knowledge and experience in the rapidly evolving field of open science, particularly open research data (ORD), is crucial to my work. Therefore, I'm thrilled that the SRDSN platform helps me find many training opportunities and interesting events.

For many years, I have actively contributed to projects focused on Research Data Management, both as a trainer within the SIB Training Group and as a member of the ELIXIR RDM Community. Drawing on my background in life sciences and bioinformatics, I see this as an excellent opportunity to collaborate with professionals from diverse disciplines and contribute to the establishment and growth of the SRDSN.

I have been a member of the SRDSN since its inception, and I have always appreciated its grassroots origin and way of working. The common intent of sharing knowledge and experiences, to stay informed on tools, practices, problems, and solutions for RDM support, is invaluable. Whether my participation was active or more passive, the network has helped me find great collaborators and, more importantly, great people.

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.
