Project information:

The project involves the provision and sustainable operation of eLabFTW within the context of the Academic Cloud on servers at TU Braunschweig. By providing eLabFTW, the documentation of research data in scientific laboratories across Lower Saxony is to be modernized, optimized, and thus made interoperable. Regular maintenance and technical support will ensure high availability and data security. In addition, training and support will be offered to researchers and laboratory staff to enable seamless integration into existing workflows. A networking forum for eLabFTW users in Lower Saxony will also be established to facilitate the exchange of experiences, best practices, and solutions to specific challenges. The provision of eLabFTW will promote collaboration among researchers, improve the reproducibility of research results, and ensure compliance with data protection and security requirements.

Project duration: 01.07.2025 – 30.06.2027
Funding volume: 269.628 Euro
Lead university: Technische Universität Braunschweig
Universities involved: Technische Universität Clausthal, Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen

What is eLabFTW?

eLabFTW is an open-source electronic lab notebook (ELN) that enables flexible and digital documentation of research. In contrast to discipline-specific electronic lab notebooks (e.g.. Chemotion ELN), eLabFTW is a generic ELN and can therefore be used across a wide range of research disciplines. Linkto the eLabFTW website
