Long-term storage
For data from completed projects that will not be published but still need to be stored for a defined period of time, we offer long-term storage in our research data infrastructure (FDI). If an existing FDI project repository is transferred to long-term storage, all data will be accessible read-only. The retention period can be defined in advance and can amount to, for example, 10 years, as recommended by the good research practice.
