Research data are generated in many different forms – from measurement data and audiovisual materials to software and documented test procedures. Structured research data management ensures that these data remain findable, understandable, and reusable in the long term.
The University Library supports you with all questions related to research data management at TUHH. We offer consultation, information, and practical support for the planning and implementation in your research projects.
For projects within the Cluster of Excellence BlueMat, a dedicated Data Steward is also available to support you with specific research data management requirements.
