University of Freiburg

E-science / research support

E-science is short for enhanced science. Digital infrastructures for collaborative research.

From project planning to publication

We offer students and academics at the University of Freiburg guidance throughout the entire research cycle with our e-science services: starting with the project planning phase and application process to collecting the research data right through to publishing the research findings.

Publishing research data is increasing in importance. The Alliance of Science Organisations in Germany defines research data as data “that is created as part of scientific projects, e.g. digitisation, studying source material, experiments, measurements, data collection or surveys.” This research data should be safeguarded, re-used and permanently archived under the principles of good scientific practice and open access.
