DLCM Training and Consulting Expertise
Because the management of research data involves many questions such as data organisation, file formats, metadata, as well as legal and regulatory aspects, one of the important outcomes of this project is to propose consulting services in these specific areas. Professional experts and data specialists from DLCM partner institutions are available to answer your questions and help you manage your research data through consulting services tailored to your needs. We are also happy to provide a personalized training offer for your specific needs!
