Nodes

The SRDSN addresses special topics of interest that concern professionalization of RDM support in HEI in Switzerland in so-called nodes. Nodes allow smaller groups to address distinct questions, problems, and interests related to RDM that are relevant at institutional or national levels. They facilitate sharing and creating practical knowledge, with outputs disseminated via SRDSN communication channels.

Nodes can be temporary or ongoing, and have predefined goals and timelines. Nodes can be initiated by SRDSN members or proposed by any of the organizational bodies of the SRDSN. They require approval from the SC, which is given based on criteria like cross-institutional relevance and potential collaborations. Nodes can also consist of already existing working groups (from related networks).

The SRDSN currently contains the following nodes:

For more information on the nodes, please visit their sites or consult the concept of SRDSN nodes.

Interested in Proposing a New Node?

New nodes apply to the Steering Committee, using the application form in the appendix of the concept of SRDSN nodes. The Steering Committee reviews the application, suggests changes (if necessary), and accepts or rejects the application. 

When accepted, the new node informs all members of the SRDSN about their existence via the SRDSN communication channels. It should be a brief version of their application, describing 

  1. the aims of the node

  2. desired target group

  3. 1st dates of meeting

  4. Contact information

More information on the procedure can be found in the concept of the SRDSN nodes.
