Since 2019 I have been coordinating IIT Research Data services to support scientists in Research Data Management and Open Science. From 2019 to 2021 I have coordinated the Data Stewardship Competence Centers Implementation Network in GO FAIR. I am involved in the EU project Skills4EOSC, as collaborator in WP6, on the harmonisation and creation of communities of data professionals. Given my interest in the introduction of the professional figure of the "data steward" in Italy, I am currently working on the launch of the Italian Data Stewards Community, with colleagues from University of Bologna and under the umbrella of ICDI (Italian Computing and Data Infrastructure). My background is in Bioengineering (major in Neuroengineering) and Neuroscience. During PhD and post-doc I worked as data analyst, on the design and development of innovative analytical methods for in vitro and in vivo neuroscience data.
