The goal of Pillar 1 is to establish a central service and advisory center for Lower Saxony on all matters related to research data. To achieve this, support services for all universities in Lower Saxony should be centrally provided. This includes networking, coordination, creating and collecting materials, as well as providing advice on general questions regarding research data management (RDM), but also on subject-specific and specific questions such as legal aspects of RDM.<\/p>\n
The pillar is divided into six work packages (APs) and operates as a locally distributed network. There is a main responsible location for each AP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It promotes the development of legal expertise in the legal departments of Lower Saxony universities through central training opportunities and facilitates information exchange between the statewide legal advice on RDM issues and local authorities, in order to provide researchers with legally binding advice on their specific RDM questions.<\/p>\n The main responsibility for managing this work package lies with the University of Osnabr\u00fcck and is supervised by:<\/p>\n Doreen Rocholl [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”AP 6 – Overall Coordination and Networking Strategy” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#E81C27″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n AP 6 is responsible for the overall coordination of the RDM state initiative.
