Life Science Data Management

Behind every great research project should be great research data management! Start your voyage towards a FAIR and Open Data future and include the data manager platform early on in your research!

What's new?

New project summary layout

November 14th, 2024

A completely new design of the project summary, that targets many improvements for accessing and updating high level project information
