Project information:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What is eLabFTW?<\/h2>\n

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<\/a>), eLabFTW is a generic ELN and can therefore be used across a wide range of research disciplines.<\/p>\n

eLabFTW in the Academic Cloud is available to all researchers at public universities in Lower Saxony. Research groups are organized into teams. By providing the service within the Academic Cloud, researchers from cross-institutional teams can collaborate seamlessly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Currently, access to the service cannot be granted unrestrictedly to researchers from non-university research institutions. However, if your institution is involved in a cooperation project with a partner that has access to the Academic Cloud, access may be possible. This would need to be discussed in detail. Please contact the eLabFTW@FDM-NDS team at info@fdm-nds.de<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> for further information.<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“Is eLabFTW also available to researchers outside Lower Saxony?“ _builder_version=“4.27.6″ _module_preset=“default“ background_color=“#5e2b76″ background_enable_color=“on“ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

Access to the service is generally limited to researchers at public universities in Lower Saxony. In specific cases, individual researchers or small research groups collaborating with an institution in Lower Saxony may be granted access. This requires individual discussion. Please contact the eLabFTW@FDM-NDS team at info@fdm-nds.de<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span> for details.<\/p>\n

Any person with access to the service can request a team. Please fill out the team application form linked in the Academic Cloud. A team can only be requested with the approval of the PI (team leader).<\/p>\n

During your first login to eLabFTW, you can select a team. After registration, you must be approved by the team administrator to gain access to the service. If no team exists yet for your research group, please request a team.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are already part of a team and wish to join another team, you must be invited by the administrator of the new team.<\/div>\n
