The professional and responsible handling of research data is essential for the scientific process and an important part of good research practice.
At the University of Passau, researchers are supported by the Research Services Division, the University Library and the Centre for Information Technology and Media Services (ZIM), which provide first-level support and advice on all aspects of research data management; where expedient, further units of the University are included.
A working group at the University has formulated a research data policy based on the DFG guidelines for handling research data and ensuring good research practice.
