LU eScience Hub: Data Management Solutions at Lund University

Lund University is currently strengthening its support for research data management through the new Research Data Office (RDO) and a university-wide network of data stewards at each faculty. This comes at a critical moment: funders and journals now require transparent and FAIR data handling, while new national mandates push for open access to research data by 2026.

This event introduces the new Research Data Office (RDO), the growing network of data stewards, and the strategic initiatives at LU to help researchers meet these demands with confidence. 

• Stay ahead of funder and journal requirements
• Save time with coordinated, one-stop support
• Learn how to protect, share, and maximize the impact of your data
• Discover how LU is building sustainable infrastructure for the future of research
