The RDM policy at TU Graz provides guidance to all University academics, staff and students on research data management to ensure that the University undertakes appropriate institutional steps to help its academics adhere to good data management practice including management, preservation and availability of data. RDM does not mean “Open Data”, but rather the effective handling of data throughout its lifecycle, even where it is never shared. Where possible, we wish to promote data-sharing for reproducibility and reusability, but not where this conflicts with other needs (sensitive data/GDPR, industry collaboration).
