In 2021, the University of Lausanne (UNIL) allocated extraordinary funds to enhance support for research data management (RDM) and open research data (ORD). This led to the creation of a network of data stewards, supervised and coordinated by the “Research data” sector within the Information Resources and Archives Service (UNIRIS) of the University.

The establishment of this network has raised several interconnected challenges: 1) professionalisation; 2) recognition; 3) stabilisation; 4) reinforcement; and finally, 5) ORD strategy and resources.

In this article, we discuss how UNIRIS addresses these challenges, notably by presenting the UNIL Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Data Stewardship launched in October 2024.
