Abstract
The paper will give an overview of national infrastructure for digital repositories, Digital Academic Archives and Repositories (DABAR), and its role as technology steward in raising awareness about research data management (RDM) and promoting good practices in the Croatian A&R community. The University of Zagreb, University Computing Centre (SRCE) is providing national infrastructure DABAR suitable for storing and dissemination of different types of digital objects. Through DABAR, all Croatian higher education and research institutions can establish their digital repository. A strong collaboration between SRCEs DABAR team and institutions repository managers has proven to be important in the process of disseminating knowledge about research data management among researchers and the scientific community at large. The paper will provide information about this collaboration during the project RDA Europe 4.0 – The European plug-in to the global Research Data Alliance (RDA). The main goal of this collaboration is to raise awareness about the importance of managing and sharing research data.

Summary
The main goal of this paper is to give insight on how SRCEs DABAR team and librarians from four university libraries collaborated in a process of dissemination of the principles on research data management (RDM) and research data sharing. This paper will give an overview of the role that institutional repository managers have in process of spreading knowledge among researchers about the importance of RDM and research data sharing, i.e. the role of data steward for the research community. University Library System (ULS) from the University of Pittsburgh defines RDM as a set of activities that correlates with the organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of data that are collected and used in a research project (ULS 2020). An institutional repository can be described as “an electronic system that captures, disseminates, and preserves
