Policies and working papers

FAU Policies

Research data policies are policies that define how all employees in an institution (such as a university) must handle research data management. Such policies are in place for academic institutions and for funding organizations and provide important guidance for how to deal with research data.

The research data policy at FAU is updated at regular intervals and passed by the Executive Board of the University.
