We support your research data management!
The Research Data Service Center supports Research Data Management throughout the entire research process – from research project planning and application filing to the publication and archiving of research data.
We help you implement your Research Data Management (RDM) in line with the good research practices, the FAIR principles, and open science. The Service Center provides advice and designs basic, general RDM services for researchers across the University of Bonn.
The Research Data Service Center is a joint initiative of the University IT and Data Center (Hochschulrechenzentrum, HRZ) and the Bonn University and State Library (Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Bonn, ULB Bonn).
Join the Open Science Community Bonn!
The Open Science Community Bonn is a new community of researchers at the University of Bonn who are interested in making research more open, transparent and collaborative. The community brings together researchers from different disciplines who want to exchange ideas, learn from each other and explore Open Science practices.
