Vanessa Proudman mentioned this in her presentations about the OA Champions initiative at last month’s Repository Fringe event in Edinburgh, and at the LIBER conference in Helsinki (see slides at http://liber2016.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/8-3_Proudman_Open_Access_Depends_on_Us_Professors.pdf) earlier in the summer. I don’t think Vanessa is on this list, so I’ve copied her in so her ears don’t burn :) I’m sure she’d be very happy to gather a list of interested names to help take this forward collectively. It’s an approach that we at the DCC have long encouraged via our institutional engagement activities.

Your question has also got me thinking about this idea for us at the GSA – we have a RDM Stakeholder Group, which brings together colleagues from Research, IT, Libraries and Archives, but your idea of getting researchers to help spread the word on the ground makes a lot of sense. Good luck with it, I’d be interested to hear how you get on!

These Data Champions are supposed to help us with advocacy and (if required) with subject expertise. Incentives to become a Champion are yet to be defined. We wonder if anyone has experience with establishing a similar community or helpful thoughts regarding the following questions: • What are the roles and responsibilities of a Research Data Champion? • Who are the Research Data Champions (ECRs or more senior)? • What are possible incentives for Research Data Champions? I have had an interesting email conversation with Andrew Burnham from the University of Leicester regarding their Data Champions<https://www2.le.ac.uk/services/research-data/rdm/rdmguidance-leicester/research-data-champions> approach but maybe other universities tried something similar and can share their thoughts?
