We'll be taking a break for a few weeks and so we leave you with just a few notes on things coming up in the fall of 2026.

• Do you know a researcher or project with exceptional research data management? Now is your opportunity to nominate them for the Dutch Data Prize hosted by RDNL. Nominations close on 30 September.
• Utrecht University continues to move forward in its digital autonomy goals, this time exploring the possibility of hosting its own email environment.
• October's national Open Science Festival is already sold out! But you can still get on the waiting list.

Wishing you a summer of cool waters, ice cream, and good vibes. We'll see you in August.
