Dear readers,
Autumn is not only a season full of vibrant colours but also a time that brings unpleasant weather, including fog, rain, and morning frosts. If you don't feel like venturing into nature, dive into the October edition of the EOSC CZ newsletter. We invite you to attend the key events of this year, including the National EOSC CZ Conference, the EOSC Symposium, and the Open Science Week. The October newsletter is primarily dedicated to data stewards. If you're unsure about their role, our new website will provide you with more information, and you can also read an interview with Manali Das, who serves as a data steward at the Faculty of Science at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
Enjoy your reading!

Do you know what it means to be a data steward and what their role in a research team is? You might already be one of them without realising it, or you may want to become a data steward but don't know how. We have created a webpage that explains what this position entails, why it is essential for the successful and efficient management of research data, and how data stewards can assist you. If you're interested in this topic, stay tuned – we will intensively focus on data stewards for the rest of this year.
