Data Support

Research data preservation services for university staff. The Data Bank is intended for 5-15 years of storage, the Data archive for longer.

The Data Support at the University of Helsinki assists researchers in the management of research data. We offer tools, services, and training regarding the management, use, access to, and sharing of research data.

Via Data Support researchers at the University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital can reach the data management specialists at the Helsinki University Library, IT Services, Research Affairs and Legal Affairs.

We will search together with the researcher or research group for the best solutions for managing the research data during its whole life cycle.

Researchers are the experts on their own research data and the management of it. The Data Support is not responsible for managing the data nor does it give support regarding research methods.
