Research Data Management

Handling research data is an important part of good scientific practice. The central RDM service supports you in research data management (RDM) – from planning and applying for a project to organising, storing and documenting in the ongoing project to publishing and archiving your research data at the end of a project. We are available as an advisory service for all members of the university.

The RDM service is a cooperation between the Department of Research Funding and Transfer (Z/FFT), the University Archives (Z/ARCH), the University IT-Service (ITS) and the University Library.

In its research data policy, the university provides its researchers with guidelines for handling research data and lists support services.
