Drs. T.H. (Tessa) Jacobs van Goethem

As the coordinator of the Datastewardship cluster, I am responsible for leading a team focused on supporting researchers at LUMC in the area of datastewardship. This support includes providing consultation and training, as well as developing and implementing datastewardship policies. Additionally, we oversee projects in Opal and Castor on behalf of researchers. I am also involved in national datastewardship initiatives, such as Health-RI, and actively contribute to policy development that aligns with the strategies and activities of ADM and LUMC. This includes proposing and elaborating on new ideas for implementing datastewardship and facilitating the application of the FAIR principles.

I have a background in neuroscience and, since the beginning of my career, have held various roles in data and strategy. My focus has largely been on professionalizing data governance within organizations and implementing datastewardship guidelines.
