The Czech data steward community gathered for an online meeting on 4 February, where Beginner's data steward manual was introduced and an ongoing campaign for data stewards. The second part of the meeting focused on discussions about creating Data Management Plans for GAČR projects. Additionally, attendees decided to develop a survey on the use of the DS/FAIRWizard tool, which will be the topic at the next community meeting.

We kindly ask you to complete a survey on the topic of technology transfer practices. The aim of this survey is to gain a better understanding of your experiences, needs, and challenges related to the commercialization of research results, including tools that facilitate understanding of the technological and market environment. Your responses will help tailor the services provided by the National Library of Technology within the framework of the Czech Academic and Research Discovery Services (CARDS) project.
