• Projects such as “Open Data LoM” or “MERIT” by the Charité BIH Quest Center promote openness and transparency in science. Various incentives (e.g. prizes) can contribute to research data being published more frequently in order to make research results accessible and, if necessary, reusable in accordance with the FAIR principles and in the spirit of good scientific practice.

• Located at the University Library of Utrecht University, the Research Data Management Support Team, a multidisciplinary network of data experts from the university, provides a comprehensive range of services in the areas of training, infrastructure, advice, RDM-related tools and RDM guidelines.
