As DataCite’s Board President, I’ve seen firsthand the powerful insights that diverse voices bring to our global community of research institutions. Each member of our Board represents unique experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives that help shape our decisions and drive our mission forward.
As we approach the 2025 election, an exciting chapter for our community, the Election Committee is steering a process that will shape the future of DataCite’s leadership.
As a global community, DataCite encourages involvement from people that share our vision: to ensure that research outputs and resources are openly available and connected so that their reuse can advance knowledge across and between disciplines, now and in the future.
We are happy to introduce new members to the Services and Technology Steering Group, the Metadata Working Group, and the Regional Expert groups. After our call for applications in October 2023, we received numerous applications from community members eager to contribute to the work we are doing. Find out more about the new members below!
ources are openly available and connected so that their reuse can advance knowledge across and between disciplines, now and in the future. To help guide and support our growth and ongoing development, DataCite has several committees for community members to advise and support DataCite:
Community Engagement Steering Group (CESG), with Regional Expert Groups
Services and Technology Steering Group (STSG)
Metadata Working Group (WG)
These groups provide a venue for participation and feedback by interested community members and help us with priority setting and identify strategies related to our services, metadata, and outreach.
We are happy to announce that we currently have an open call for nominations for new steering and working group members! Each group has open seats for representatives from member organizations, as well as seats for representatives from non-member organizations who bring new expertise to the groups. Group members will be chosen based on their specific expertise. We strive for diversity and are therefore looking to include members from different regions, genders, backgrounds, and types of organizations. We specifically encourage members from Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia to apply.
