Data Stewards play an important role in institutional, project and national data infrastructures to support a sustainable, FAIR, and efficient management of research data. The goal of this coffee meeting is to foster exchange among domain-specific (embedded) data stewards with data experts engaged in support infrastructures like the NFDI4Earth helpdesk, the DataHUB support group or federal state networks, to collaboratively develop strategies for enhancing data visibility and reusability by supporting researchers and ensuring a sustainable management of research data. The focus is on practical solutions and best practices that advance Data Stewardship in Earth System Sciences and beyond.
