Research Data Advisory Service

Leibniz Universität Hannover operates the Research Data Service Team together with the TIB. In addition to the advisory service, LUH also provides infrastructure for research data through Leibniz Universität IT Services, such as the LUH research data repository. A wide range of information and materials can be accessed at the Leibniz University's research data management website.

• Further training on research data management
• Help with the application process for third-party funded projects regarding the design of RDM by the Research Data Service Team
• Help and individual advisory services on general RDM topics and all aspects of data publication
• Compilation of useful tools for data handling

As part of the Lower Saxony State Initiative for Research Data Management, TIB also provides support throughout Lower Saxony with advisory and information services for RDM:

• Scientists from research institutions in Lower Saxony:
  • Support in data handling ( if applicable in cooperation with the local services)
  • Provision of appropriate specialist services
• RDM employees who support researchers with RDM at a local level or develop this kind of RDM service:
  • Support/feedback on planned measures to develop and implement RDM services in their own institution
  • Peer exchange on advisory services, workshops, etc.
• Conceptualization and provision of workshops for researchers and RDM staff on research data management

TIB supports its own researchers as well as national researchers and RDM professionals at Leibniz institutions and other non-university research institutions with advisory and information services related to RDM. This includes services to support data handling, the provision of subject-specific services and assistance with the publication of data.

Another important element in subject-specific advisory services and data handling are the domain-specific NFDI consortia, who are responsible for developing standards and tools for data handling from the discipline-specific communities, implementing them in the subject departments and providing them with advice.

TIB has been significantly involved in the development of the NFDI from the very beginning and participates in several NFDI consortia, including the subject specific consortium for chemistry (NFDI4Chem), the consortium for research data on material and immaterial cultural heritage (NFDI4Culture), the National Research Data Infrastructure for the Engineering Sciences (NFDI4ING) and numerous NFDI-wide basic services (Base4NFDI).
