Description
This programme aims to enable, improve, and further develop research data management (RDM) by supporting academics and scientific information-infrastructure institutions. It encourages the establishment or enhancement of technical and organisational infrastructures for research data, the creation of responsibility structures, and the undertaking of studies to analyse and advance RDM practices. Projects may focus on the development of new infrastructures, improvement of existing ones, or studies designed to inform best practices in research data handling, with the overarching goal of ensuring quality, accessibility, and sustainability of research data for scientific communities.
