Research data management as part of Open Science
The ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ wishes to be a trailblazer in the field of open science, with optimum interaction between science and society. This is how it is formulated in the Strategic Plan 2025. One of the lines of action concerning open science is this:
- Every student and scientist will work according to the principles of open science in terms of open access, FAIR Data and Software, public engagement and ‘Recognition and Appreciation’. Students and employees will also conduct themselves as professionals in their dealings with civil society actors. To that end, we will provide optimum support to students and employees.
RDM Support is dedicated to providing and developing the support, tools and infrastructure that Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ students and researchers need to practice open science.
