The Data That Will Matter in 50 Years

What happens if we stop funding research data? And how can Europe connect data across scientific disciplines to better prepare for future crises? These were among the questions discussed at the ESFRI Stakeholder Forum, held in Cork, Ireland, on 22 September 2026. Research data were at the heart of the debate on the resilience of European research.

Data stewardship across Europe: practical experience, AI and community exchange in Prague

How is data stewardship evolving across Europe? Where can artificial intelligence already support research data management in practice, and why is it important to discuss “negative” research data? These were some of the questions explored at the sixth meeting of the Czech data steward community, held on 17 September at the National Library of Technology in Prague. Once again, the event combined practical experience, emerging topics and open community discussion.

“Poorly described data are like a book shelved in the wrong place. They practically don’t exist,” explains Petra Černohlávková.

A researcher may spend years collecting valuable data. But if those data remain on a personal drive without proper description, they effectively do not exist for anyone else. Metadata determine whether data can be found, understood and reused, and their importance is growing further with the rise of artificial intelligence. “For AI tools, well-structured and rich metadata are a gold mine,” says Petra Černohlávková, Head of the Repositories and Metadata Management Department at the National Library of Technology. In the interview, she explains why simply storing data is not enough, how the right repository can make a difference, and where AI can already reliably take over part of the work.
