N2 - Research Data Netherlands (RDNL) is a national coalition of research supporting organisations with a mission to promote the implementation and long-term sustainability of FAIR research data in the Netherlands: 4TU.ResearchData, DANS, SURF, and Health-RI. With these four partners, RDNL has received funding to build a National training and community platform for research data professionals from Open Science NL as part of its work programme 2024-2025 in the area ‘Capacity building for Open Science’. The project started in January 2025 and will run for four years. This document presents a Competency Framework for research data professionals in the Netherlands. It was established by a dedicated task group within Research Data Netherlands (RDNL), in consultation with RDNL project members, a selection of training providers, and individual data stewards. It is part of the Curriculum for Data Professionals in Research-Performing Organisations in the Netherlands but is here published as a separate supplement to allow periodic updates.
