From 9 to 13 February 2026, several partners of the Flemish Research Data Network will participate in Love Data Week. This annual event, held around Valentine’s Day, brings together research organizations worldwide to celebrate data and to promote responsible research data management (RDM). 

This year’s theme is “Where’s the Data?” We’ll explore the full journey of data — from planning and collection to storing, sharing, publication, long-term preservation, and reuse.  

It’s a great opportunity for researchers, data stewards, data curators, RDM/Open Science coordinators, and library staff to dive into data ethics, strengthen data literacy, and share best practices to promote transparent and FAIR research data management and Open Data. 

Most sessions will be held online, so you can join us from anywhere! 

Our full programme will be available soon on this page.
