RDM

Research Data Service of TU Dortmund University

We support researchers concerning all research data handling questions.

The Service Team Research Data Management (RDM) of TU Dortmund University supports researchers of all departments and subject cultures in the sustainable and comprehensible handling of research data.

You can contact us via our central e-mail address.

The management of research data can confront researchers with great challenges: Growing volumes of data, due to increasing digitalization of research processes in all disciplines, increase the demands on management and data protection. Research data and software code must be kept available and traceable for at least 10 years; likewise, data is increasingly shared for re-use or published in separate data publications.

You can meet these requirements and challenges by applying the concepts of research data management. We give support in the development and implementation of RDM strategies to make your research data findable, understandable, and usable for at least 10 years according to the principles of research data management and good scientific practice at TU Dortmund University.
