Research data management
The systematic handling of research data during all phases of a research project is an essential component of Open Science and is already expected by many funding institutions as an integral part of applications. This includes the structuring, storage and description of research data. We offer researchers various services for research data management that can support you in implementing the requirements.
Our services:
Consultations and training on research data
The Cologne Competence Centre for Research Data Management C3RDM offers you comprehensive support, advice and training on research data management in all phases of your research project: from the development of a data management plan, to technical storage options, to the search for suitable (subject) repositories for the publication of your research data. You are welcome to send enquiries to our central contact address: fdm-supportuni-koeln.de
DOI assignment for research data
Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) are used to make research data identifiable and citable. The UCL registers DOIs for you. You are welcome to send enquiries to our central contact address: doiub.uni-koeln.de

We offer all researchers at the University of Cologne an interdisciplinary research data repository for the publication and long-term storage of research data. This is based on the FAIR principles. You are welcome to send enquiries to our contact address: radarub.uni-koeln.de
Cataloguing digital collections
We offer a system, advice and support in defining a data model when it comes to indexing (digital) objects in a collection context and making them available for research. You are welcome to send enquiries to easydbub.uni-koeln.de.
Research portals / presentation of digital collections
We support you in the development of customised research portals, from conception and design to data management, to make your collections and research results accessible worldwide. Through our expertise in technical implementation and user experience optimisation, we promote the visibility of your work and facilitate collaboration within the research community. Contact us by e-mail at e-researchub.uni-koeln.de to find out how we can support your project from idea to successful implementation.
Long-term storage of digital data
We offer comprehensive advice and support for the long-term storage of your valuable (research) data in order to protect it and make it permanently accessible. Our solutions are designed to ensure the long-term integrity and availability of your information. Contact us at lzvub.uni-koeln.de for customised advice to ensure that your digital treasures are well protected against the vagaries of time.
