Description¶
The description should define, in the best possible way, a substantive scope of the data project. Other users of the data management portal can read this description.
Contact person¶
Please indicate at least 2 persons. The nominated contact persons may assign additional persons to the data project and administer the project's access rights.
POF reference¶
If the data project is related to a third-party funds project, we will need its 8-digit POF number.
In case of reference to a budget project of POF3/POF4, it will be sufficient to indicate the 3-digit number of the IP. You will find an overview of the POF structure at:

Frequently asked questions about data projects (FAQ)¶
What are data projects?
A data project represents a specific subject and groups together the data connected with it as well as the rights. Generally, the employees assigned to a data project can add new data to the project, peruse them in detail and edit them.
If, within the data management portal, you want to exclusively peruse the data of a specific data project, select the pertinent data project in the upper left area of the page. As of that point in time, you will be in the "context" of the selected data project. If you change between the different components, the data project context is maintained.
