Varga János portréja

He graduated as an economist in 2000 from the Budapest University of Economic Sciences. Following his studies, he worked at the Ministry of Defence and later at various commercial enterprises, typically in the fields of commerce, quality management, and public procurement. For fifteen years, he was active as a public procurement consultant, providing professional support to municipalities, schools, libraries, and museums. Since 2024, he has been working at the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research in diverse areas including regulatory licensing, quality management, and logistics. Since October 2024, he has been serving as the data steward of the Centre for Energy Research (EK).

His main responsibilities include disseminating knowledge on research data management among researchers, raising awareness of and recognition for data stewardship activities, assisting in the preparation of data management plans, broadly promoting the ARP data repository, and organizing and delivering professional workshops and informational sessions.

“It is important to reach those researchers and research groups who have previously had little or no interaction with data repository practices and may be reluctant to take on tasks in this new area. For me, one of the greatest appeals of the data steward role is the opportunity to get to know every research unit and engage with the most diverse fields of research and researchers.”
