Institutional research data management

A research data management workflow is a sequence of processes through which research data pass during their lifecycle. This includes actions taken during their collection, curation, and preservation, as well as during their provision and eventual subsequent disposal. Specialized tools can support this workflow.

The Helmholtz Association and the UFZ in particular provide various infrastructures, tools and services that can be used along the research data life cycle. These include, for example, research data repositories or survey tools. You can find an overview here.

The NFDI aims to systematically open up the currently often decentralized, project-based and temporary data repositories of science and research for the entire German science system. The NFDI is to be developed by users and providers of research data, who will work together in consortia. More information about the NFDI can be found here.
