Project Overviews

Title: NOVA.ID Research Data Management Competence Centre (NOVA.ID-RDM-CC)
Tagline: Empowering Research through Open Science and FAIR Data Management
Brief Description:
NOVA.ID-RDM-CC is an interdisciplinary initiative designed to establish best practices, infrastructure, and training for research data management (RDM). It aims to support researchers in managing, storing, and sharing their research data in alignment with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), fostering Open Science at the national and European levels.
Impact Summary:
This initiative ensures transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility of scientific data across multiple disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences, law, medicine, and humanities.

Objectives & Mission

Our mission is to enhance the quality, integrity, and visibility of research data through structured management strategies, training, and digital infrastructure.
