Researcher support

We want you to succeed in your research work and be able to focus your full attention on it. This is why we offer all our researchers a variety of support services.

Part of research planning

Data management is an essential part of research quality. The purpose of data management is to ensure that research data are easily accessible, interpretable, and appropriately protected during and after the research process. 

A data management plan is an essential part of your research plan. Most funders require a proper research data management plan.

Study the guidelines

Making research data related to publicly funded published research openly accessible wherever possible is a prerequisite stated in the University’s data policy. We follow the principle 'as open as possible, as closed as necessary'. 

You can find our research data management guidelines, services and practices in our guide.
