Information for research data management (RDM) officers
In this knowledge base, the RDM officers collectively develop and share recommendations and best practices for research data management that are considered useful for researchers at TU Darmstadt. Read more about the context and goals on the TUdata website.
We encourage you to share best practices of your working group and get in contact with other RDM officers at TU Darmstadt to develop common solutions and ideas. If you want to contact us, write an email to .
If you have been appointed as RDM officer or want to contribute to the best practices, we will add you to the GitLab project so that you can create issues and add content.
