Meet the EDC Team: Oliver Brough - Data Steward

This is the first of two blogs introducing the two new members that have joined the EDC team in 2025. This blog introduces Oliver Brough, the team's Graduate Energy Data Steward. It covers details of his academic background, areas of interest in Energy Research, and how he will contribute to the EDC and help it achieve the goals it strives for.

Why Preserve? Thoughts from the EDC team for World Preservation Day on 6th November

World Preservation Day is the 6th November and on that date the international preservation and curation community come together to celebrate and raise awareness of the profession. This year the theme is Why Preserve and in this blog each EDC team member share their answer to the question posed. In summary it is because energy knowledge has long-term value and impact on the society we all live in. Read more in the full blog.

EDC team participated in the Career and Skills for Data-driven Research network+ launch

On the 18th September, Catherine Jones and Oliver Brough from the Energy Data Centre headed to Birmingham for the launch of the Career and Skills for Data-driven Research network+. The pair showcased their vital work to make energy data more accessible - with a lightning talk on energy modelling data-sharing challenges and a poster on improving the hashtag#FAIRness of our data portal. It was a delight to meet with colleagues, old and new. We're excited to participate in the network and watch it grow over the next five years!
