Open Science and Research Data Management

Open Access, Open Source, Open Data - these concepts represent a scientific community that makes its work transparent and freely available, and is referred to as Open Science. The members and staff of the Academy are convinced that the Open Science path should be consistently pursued and continued. This goal is to be achieved in a long-term, continuous process that includes several components that differ in content and technical-organizational aspects. Since July 2020, a research goup "Research Data Management" addresses the aspect of Open Data and works on a comprehensive concept for the management, publication and archiving of all research data at BBAW.
