Hessian Research Data Infrastructure
The amount of digital research data is constantly increasing. A modern infrastructure is needed
for digital research data management (RDM) in the sense of good scientific practice. There is currently a lack of sustainable handling of research data, as research data management is often not yet fully developed. The project aims to create awareness for goal-oriented working methods in times of digitalization. Guidelines are intended to simplify research data management.
