Research Data

Advanced data literacy is becoming increasingly important for cutting-edge research to stay internationally competitive. Researchers today must be able to access, share, and fuse relevant data, to select and use tools, and to interpret and analyze results, even without an adequate educational background.

That is why the MDSI provides domain scientists with professional data-related services and advice, including research data management. In addition, the MDSI will act as a TUM-internal think tank for the TUM Board of Management that gives strategic advice on all kind of data-related questions, such as legal issues in connection with open source and intellectual property, or the prerequisites of a modern research data infrastructure that adheres to the highest standards.
